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.

Frequently asked
Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?
Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.
Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?
Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.
How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?
Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.
Can a programme run in-house for our bank?
Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.
