The Portuguese language guide, titled Demonstrações financeiras – Orientações referentes ao exercício de 2008, addresses the principal issues in preparing 2008 financial statements of Brazilian companies. The guide highlights the key changes to Brazilian GAAP in the past year. There are also updates on on-going convergence efforts with IFRSs and new statutory accounting changes brought about by Law 11.638/07. The guide includes discussion about the latest pronouncements issued by the Brazilian Committee on Accounting Pronouncements (Comitê de Pronunciamento Contábil, or CPC) during 2008, making it one of the most up-to-date references in Brazil.
