ACCRUAL RECORDING OF INTEREST REVISITED: WHY THE SNA MUST BE REVISED A comment on the IMF Paper on Interest Accrual

چکیده

The conclusions reached in this paper are very different from those of the IMF. I remain convinced that the ‘creditor’ approach is the conceptually correct one from both an economic and an accounting viewpoint.
