Objective International Fundamental Financial Data
The Compustat® Global database provides authoritative financial and market data, focusing on the non-U.S. and non-Canadian markeplace. Increasing globalization in the investment marketplace has brought increased attention to the emerging markets of the Asia Pacific region. This region also has unique challenges regarding financial transparency, company intelligence and regulatory issues. Compustat recognizes how important thorough company coverage is in this region. Our recent global data initiatives have increased our total active company population to over 28,500 companies. Our growing international database represents over 90% of the world's market capitalization, including 90% of the Asian market cap, 90% of the Indian market cap, 95% of the Taiwanese market cap and 95% of the European market cap.
Normalization
Compustat Global data is unique in that it is normalized to provide comparability across a wide variety of global accounting standards and practices. Accounting standards vary considerably among countries, making accurate comparisons of as-reported data somewhat difficult. Rather than adopt one country’s set of accounting principles as the standard for collecting data from all countries, we have created consistent sets of financial data items for the Global database by examining financial statements from a variety of countries and identifying items that are widely reported by companies, regardless of their geographic location, business activity or accounting practices. Within these uniform data sets, we normalize the data to local accounting principles, disclosure methods and data item definitions. As a result, you can make more meaningful comparisons among industries and countries.
