Held in Zurich, Switzerland, this open enrollment offering of our IFRS Update course is a must for the international accountant and keeps you up-to-date with the constantly changing requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  This two-day workshop is for board members and executives, accountants and analysts who would like to have an overview of the siginificant changes in IFRS.

This course is for persons with a sound knowledge of IFRS looking for an update of recent developments from the IASB and IFRIC, an overview of the IASB’s work plan and IFRIC work in progress, and insights into frequently asked questions and comments raised by regulators around the world relating to financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. It can be structured as either a one or two day course. The course will emphasize essential learning points through the use of practical examples and class discussions.

Using our vast library of IFRS training materials, we assemble a tailored, modular training designed to teach participants the requirements of IFRS based on their individual needs. This includes recognition and measurement of key financial statement line items, as well as presentation and disclosure requirements, to ensure that the financial statements are in accordance with IFRS. Depending on time and/or cost constraints, we can further tailor the course by adding case studies and illustrations, usually taken from your annual report, that reflect the accounting issues impacting your company. We can even add excerpts of accounting policies and/or journal entries to the training, to ensure that key areas important to your company are emphasized.

This course is an introduction to accounting and reporting for financial instruments under IAS 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 7. The two day course will introduce the instruments and transactions within the scope of these standards and include an introduction and thorough discussion of the most widely relevant issues surrounding its implementation. Issues covered include those that are relevant to ALL INDUSTRIES applying IFRS. The course will emphasize essential learning points through the use of practical examples, class discussions, and review of financial statements.

A one day course geared towards those who already have a fundamental understanding of IAS 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 7. We focus on recent changes during the past year in accounting and reporting for financial instruments in accordance with IFRS. In addition to recent changes, additional time is allotted to “hot topics”, i.e. areas in which regulators, standard setters, and industry leaders have recently focused their attention.

Along with the global movement towards IFRS comes a responsibility for getting your organization up to speed with this “new GAAP”. Our IFRS accreditation program can be implemented within your organization to enhance IFRS knowledge and comprehension. Our program can be customized to meet the needs of companies who will be reporting under IFRS, accounting firms responsible for auditing under IFRS, and consulting firms interested in extending their services to IFRS engagements.
