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adoption keeps widening, and the standards keep moving — which means even professionals with a solid grounding fall out of date faster than they expect.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.

Frequently asked
Who is this IFRS course designed for?
Accountants and financial analysts, portfolio managers and securities analysts, auditors, credit and investment analysts, and pension fund managers — the growing group of professionals who prepare, audit or analyse financial statements of large and medium-sized entities on an IFRS basis.
How is the course taught — standard by standard?
No. Rather than reciting the standards, sessions work through the technical questions that recur in practice and the judgement they demand, then bring participants current on the latest amendments and updates — with practical guidance on assessing what each change means for your entity.
Is the course available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to the standards most relevant to your entity and sector. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
Who teaches this
Practitioners, not presenters.
Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.
What the bench brings
- IFRS 9 impairment and expected credit loss models
- Financial-instrument accounting and hedge accounting
- IFRS, US GAAP and public-sector standards
- Audit standards and financial control
- Budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning
- Regulatory review of accounting under Basel
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Banking & financial services · Professional services · Insurance · Technology & fintech
Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas
How they teach
- Live case studies from real institutions
- Worked exercises on realistic bank data
- Regulator-style challenge sessions
- Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
- Knowledge checks and a personal action plan
Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
