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adoption keeps widening, and the standards keep moving — which means even professionals with a solid grounding fall out of date faster than they expect.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