Bus/Financial - Accounting
English term or phrase: AGAM
The Group Companies are responsible for ensuring that all related transactions are booked following the **AGAM**. In case specific guidelines outlined in this document conflict with the defined accounting treatment (FAS 133 for instance), the accounting requirements as per the **AGAM** will take precedent.

Does anyone know this abbreviation? Thank you.

neutral  Hans G. Liepert: Die FAO ist kein Konzern und bilaniziert nicht und die AGAM wird ihre Bilanzierungsstandards nicht gerade "the AGAM" nennen => Ihr müsst ja nicht unbedingt irgendetwas schreiben (und ich nicht meinen Senf dazugeben! ;o)) )
