Answer 1

Below attached a list of references for your purview.
1. Differences.
2. UK.
3. France.
4. Technical jargon.
5. Simplified book. (Note that 5th recommendation is likley out of date come end of this year as FRS are continually released during this transition period.)

Without prior processing of international financial reporting standards, get a good book from any of the big 4. Required if working for Multinational coys.

Kinldy note main differences subject to exposure drafts (EDs) coming into effect end of YE2006 and for subsequent years.

E.g. Past implemented IFRS.
Goodwill is no longer amortised, subject to impairment test and write-off to Income Statement. Errors in this respect cannot be retrospectively written back. Period.
