CAIRO --- January 25, 2009 --- The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization/ Cairo Office is taking part in the Cairo International Book Fair (CIBF) displaying more than 100 titles and publications.

It was created to serve various goals; one of which is meeting the needs of ICT specialists and students at universities, colleges and vocational institutions by providing necessary explanations for various terms rather than merely the equivalent meaning or synonym.

Recent titles also include: International Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)- Practical Implementation Guide and Workbook (Wiley), and Handbook of International Auditing, Assurance, And Ethics Pronouncements in addition to others.
