IFRS 9 Update and Refresher Masterclass

A concentrated IFRS refresher anchored on IFRS 9 — classification, effective interest, ECL modelling and the wider standards from IAS 1 to the consolidation suite.

The programme

IFRS does not stand still, and finance teams that certified their knowledge years ago are quietly out of date. This refresher masterclass is anchored on IFRS 9 — classification and measurement, hedge accounting and expected credit loss treatment under stressed conditions — then sweeps the more prevalent standards across the framework, including the latest developments from 2023 onward. Sessions open with IAS 1 presentation of financial statements and the standards touching non-current assets, then move through income taxes, provisions, IFRS 13 fair value measurement, business combinations and the consolidation suite. The cohort works through PD, LGD and EAD modelling and how ECL insight sharpens credit-risk decisions.

What you will do

Apply IFRS 9 classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement to financial assets and liabilities.
Analyse instruments to separate liabilities from equity — and handle those that are both.
Compute the effective interest rate and apply the effective interest method for instruments at amortised cost.
Account for derivatives and embedded derivatives, and evaluate fair value measurement under IFRS 13.
Work with PD, LGD and EAD models, resolving the issues in 12-month and lifetime PD measurement.
Use ECL insight in credit-risk decision-making, steering profits and risks on IFRS 9 numbers with stress tests integrated.
Align international accounting standards with local regulatory requirements on expected-loss provisions.

Who attends

  • Heads of finance and executive directors of finance

  • Credit risk analysts and financial analysts
  • Internal auditors and risk teams

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.
