The use of foreign accounting data in UK financial institutions

Article Abstract:

A cross-border research was conducted to investigate the attitude of the London-based financial institutions towards foreign accounting data. Through interviews with 17 users of such data in six institutions, researchers have found that most analysts lack the necessary accounting qualification and are unaware of accounting differences between countries such as the US and UK. Thus, the possibility of giving clients inaccurate investment advice and decisions is very likely.
