The International Accounting Standards have gained a wide international approval where they attempted to unify accounting practices on an international level to help investors and others in the process of decision- making on a unified basis. Numerous studies in Arab countries have proved the importance of adopting and implementing these standards. Therefore, this research questions the extent of implementing the International Accounting Standards in two Arab countries: Syria and Lebanon, as regards to recognition and measurement of tangible fixed assets. This was done using a questionnaire distributed to two samples of accountants in both countries. The result that was reached verifies that accountants in both countries do not fully implement the International Accounting Standard Number 16 (property, plant and equipment). However, their accounting practice does largely approach this standard but in different sections. This makes any comparison between the opportunities available for investors in both countries lacking as it cannot be based upon any unified grounds. The research also examined the most important points which are not implemented by accountants in both countries, with regard to this standard.

The end of the twentieth century witnessed increasing interest in environmental issues from governments around the world, accompanied by great interest from researchers in the subject of environmental management accounting (EMA).Some research on th e subject emphasized the importance and benefits gained from the measurement of environmental costs and the challenges associated with such measurement. However, research that tried to document the extent of using (EMA) techniques, and the barriers of such use, are scarce in the management accounting literature. This research explores the extent of adopting (EMA)techniques in a sample of Syrian firms, and the barriers of such adoption. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to (100) firms working in the costal area of Syria, of which (23) completed questionnaires were returned and interred into SPSS for statistical analysis. Sample size in the research is affected by the war in Syria that made most of the companies out of service. Results of this research showed that (70%) of the participating firms reported usageof (EMA) techniques.However results of Binomial test showed that this proportion is insignificant at 5% significance level. It was found also that a significant proportion (83%) of the firms in the sample measure environmental treatment costs for the internal usage, while insignificant proportions (61%, and 65% respectively) measure prevention and environmental management costs, and the value of wasted material purchased. Significant barriers for not using (EMA) techniques, reported by respondents, include: difficulty of the monetary measurement of environmental costs, the absence of a unified guide of environmental cost measurement at the level of industry, and the lack of knowledge by management on (EMA).
