Help needed

[happy]

I am currently writing on my master thesis (with just 4 weeks left  :-\) on an accounting topic - in English.

Therefore, I need your help.

I am searching for a synonym for "to agree on sth."

I already had a look on several translation pages but there are so many suggestions that I don't know which word fits best.

Anyone can help?

What do you mean by "sth" because it is not actually a word?

Email Lamese, she will help you in any English problems you may have.

Can you give us a bit more information ... i.e. the context of why & how it is used... I am an accountant and it makes no sense to me ... maybe the context it is framed will allow me to help a bit.

"sth." means something. that's how we learn English verbs at school...it means that there has to be a noun after to agree.

Cheers Mick. will do so later after work

I am writing about the Conceptual Framework Project of IASB and FASB.
I actually wanted to write that both Boards agreed on an agreement in which they agreed to focus on....

So there is 3 times agree in this sentence which doesn't look so good...

 

[Paolo]

Both boards came to an agreement in which they decided to focus on.... ?

 

[hasbeen]

both Boards decided on an agreement on which to focus

 

[bjw]

How about;

Both of the boards agreed on a common focus point...?

 

[dibo]

Paolo's one is the simplest so far, and simple often wins.

Happy I can help a bit now... the IASB and FASB refer to Accounting Standards( no smart arse comments by other poster allowed BTW)

The IASB refers to international standards which are still trying to be agree on...

The Conceptual Framework is massive and to explain in a few lines at a masters level is asking a bit ... but here goes...

The CF is where accounting operates and goes back to when Accounting was established with the equation E = A - L.... with Revenue _ expense items making up the annual transfer to E...

Essentially the CF is a set of standards, conventions and doctrines directing accountants how to treat documents and how they should be classified.. It is all encompassing and includes the simple things like Assets are debits as an example .. to how to value intangible assets like Goodwill i.e. the FIFA brand name...

The professional bodies in various countries like CPA's , CA operate within the CF... and locally apply their professional rules within the CF of each country...

I still do not understand what sth (other than shit head) but ST is often used referring to Standard ... the h .. I have no idea.

If you can give me some more I maybe can help a bit more ... hope the above has helped...

did you read Sandra's posts (or any of the others)? she's writing at masters level about it - she probably knows what they are and what and what they do.

she was asking pretty specifically about synonyms for a particular phrase, and she said 'sth' is short for 'something'.

Thanks everybody

both Boards decided on an agreement on which to focus

both Boards decided on an agreement on which to focus    ... is the better option. If using good grammar you can't end a sentence with a preposition as in Paolo's suggestion.

Just my 2 cents worth!

yeh, but your 2 cents worth was vital but.

 

[hasbeen]

even better would be 'both Boards decided on an agreement upon which to focus'

I think the ... indicated Paolo intended that to be the stem of a longer sentence. Your point is right though and hasbeen's a comedian.
