The Standards Update: Recent IFRS, IAS & IPSAS Changes Applied
Standards change every year; the finding is always the same — the entity knew about the change and did not work through it.

Standard-setters never stop: new standards, narrow-scope amendments, interpretations and effective-date cliffs arrive every cycle for both IFRS and IPSAS reporters. This programme is the working session that turns the year’s changes into applied competence — each significant change worked on realistic figures: what changes in recognition, measurement and disclosure; the transition options and their consequences; and the implementation plan back at the desk, from data gaps to system settings to the audit conversation. Content refreshes each cohort to the current standard-setting cycle — the discipline taught is permanent.
What you will do
Who attends

Frequently asked
How is the course content kept current?
The content refreshes each cohort to the current standard-setting cycle — new standards, narrow-scope amendments, interpretations and effective dates for both IFRS and IPSAS reporters. The discipline taught is permanent: each significant change is worked on realistic figures rather than summarised, through to transition options and the implementation plan back at the desk.
Who should attend the standards update session?
Financial reporting managers and their teams, public-sector accountants under IPSAS, internal and external audit staff, and finance leaders who sign the accounts. Participants leave able to choose transition options with their full consequences visible and to brief the audit committee on what changed and what it costs.
Is the programme available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the session in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to the standards that matter to your statements. It is professional training, not accounting advice. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
