International Financial Reporting Standards

Practical working knowledge of IFRS for preparers and analysts — the recurring technical issues, the judgement calls and the updates that keep moving the standards.

The programme

IFRS adoption keeps widening, and the standards keep moving — which means even professionals with a solid grounding fall out of date faster than they expect. This course answers the continuing need for information and practical guidance on IFRS technical issues, built for the growing group of professionals who prepare, audit or analyse financial statements of large and medium-sized entities on an IFRS basis. Rather than reciting the standards, sessions work through the technical questions that recur in practice and the judgement they demand, and bring participants current on the latest technical updates.

What you will do

Prepare and interpret financial statements on an IFRS basis, with confidence in the judgement calls the standards require.
Resolve the technical issues that recur in practice, with worked guidance rather than standard-by-standard recital.
Track the latest amendments and updates and assess what each means for your entity.
Apply the standards most relevant to large and medium-sized entities across the reporting cycle.
Answer auditor and analyst challenge on IFRS treatments with the reasoning to back the position.
