Overview
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Seminar is designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of the globally recognized accounting standards and principles. IFRS is crucial for ensuring transparency and consistency in financial reporting, making this course essential for professionals seeking to enhance their financial reporting skills. IFRS’s application can become ever more complex and challenging if not kept up with.
Further, the IFRS landscape is constantly changing, and professionals are required to keep up to date. This arises from their continuously evolving where new accounting standards are released, existing ones are replaced or amended and new interpretations are made. Keeping up to date with these can be cumbersome and become a burden for an organization.
It is therefore beneficial for professionals to attend the IFRS Seminar allowing them interpret those updates, focus on the core change and amendments. The Seminar will offer latest IFRS developments/changes, practical application issues of existing standards and upcoming changes and provide in-depth analysis of the applicable standards.

Each year more and more countries are implementing IFRS. As a result of this acceptance of IFRS, more financial professionals are required to have a working knowledge of not only the fundamentals but also the detailed workings.
