THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA

(established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)

Date: 31st   to 1st February 2018

Venue: Hilton Hotel, Nairobi

 Theme: Towards Effective Implementation of IFRS 9

 Overview

The dynamic nature of the financial reporting standards environment calls for close attention to the evolving trends in the standard setting arena. New standards are coming up all the time, with revisions and amendments being undertaken to the existing standards every time. This means that the modern day professional accountant needs to keep abreast with all these key developments.

One such change is the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 which replaces International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39. This is in respect to the methodology used in providing for uncertainties in economic benefits of financial assets, loans or debts issued by financial institutions (impairment provisions on financial instruments). The new standard is effective from 1 January 2018 and affects any financial statements prepared after the date. The implementation of the new standard takes immediate effect and all affected entities will be expected to prepare compliant financial reports going forward.

The new impairment requirements in IFRS 9 are based on an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model and replaces the IAS 39 Incurred Loss (IL) model. ECL model applies to debt instruments (such as bank deposits, loans, debt securities and trade receivables) recorded at discounted cost or at market value and recorded in the income statement through other comprehensive income, including lease receivables, contract assets, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at market value through profit or loss. As a result, entities will have to recognize not only incurred credit losses but also losses that are expected to be incurred in future.

As way of responding to the existing complexity of the financial reporting arrangements which have been occasioned by the introduction of the new standard, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya has organised a sensitization workshop to prepare members on the new developments expected during the implementation of IFRS 9.

Please check to ensure that you book for the workshop which will leave you well equipped to face the demands of the new IFRS 9 standard.
