Live Online International Accounting and Reporting Standards Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Investors, lenders and regulators compare companies across borders, and they expect financial statements that follow IFRS consistently and disclose judgments clearly. You start with the international reporting environment, the IASB Conceptual Framework, IAS 1 presentation requirements and how IFRS for SMEs and IPSAS relate to full standards. Recognition and measurement sessions cover revenue under IFRS 15, financial instruments and expected credit losses under IFRS 9, leases under IFRS 16, property, plant and equipment, impairment, provisions and fair value measurement.
Statement preparation days work through the statement of financial position, profit or loss, cash flows, changes in equity and notes, with attention to disclosure requirements, related parties and events after the reporting period. You then interpret IFRS-based statements, adjusting ratios for accounting policy choices. The final day addresses governance, audit committees, transition issues and emerging areas such as IFRS S1 and S2 sustainability disclosures. Accountants, financial controllers, auditors, finance managers and qualified professionals updating their technical knowledge will find it rigorous. Afterwards you can prepare and review compliant statements, explain key judgments to auditors and boards and anticipate how new standards will affect reported results.
