(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)

THE IFRS  MASTER CLASS (Mandatory Training)
Date: 18th – 22nd July   2022
Venue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino Thika Road, Nairobi
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration)

Overview

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) are designed to bring consistency to accounting language, practices, and statements, and to help businesses and investors make educated financial analyses and decisions. The IFRS Foundation sets the standards to “bring transparency, accountability, and efficiency to financial markets around the world, therefore fostering trust, growth, and long-term financial stability in the global economy.” Companies benefit from the IFRS because investors are more likely to put money into a company if the company’s business practices are transparent.

Financial reporting is thus, a critical catalyst for economic growth and development. Investors and other stakeholders rely on financial reports for decision making and gauging the financial performance and health of an organisation. Financial reporting has been given significant attention by different users of an entity’s financial statements to guide their various judgements and decisions. This has resulted to great emphasis and focus on maintaining the highest quality of financial reports prepared by an organisation.  With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its attendant effects on the global economy, this need for quality and transparent financial reporting has become even more critical!

The standard setting space is also undergoing rapid developments to keep pace with the global commercial trends and economic transitions. The IFRS Foundation and the International Accounting Standards continue to develop and issue new standards while maintaining or amending the existing ones to meet the everchanging business and commercial needs. This calls for the professional accountant and accounting practitioners to keep abreast of these developments to ensure proper and informed contribution to business performance and growth.

It is against this background that the Institute has planned an IFRS Masterclass to update and equip the participants with the current trends in the standard setting arena and encourage the delegates to share their experiences on the implementation of the new standards. This will also extend to how the adoption and implementation of the standards is taking place under the pandemic environment and the way forward as the economies and organisations across the world cope with the pandemic.

The IFRS Masterclass seeks to assist participants in understanding the bottlenecks and challenges in adoption and implementation of the new standards and how to effectively apply the existing standards to maintain a high quality of financial reporting across the global markets.

The facilitators will explore the different aspects relevant for effective implementation of the IFRS and related professional standards and judgments.

The areas of focus to be discussed during the training include:

  1. Understanding the newly issued standards, along with IASB projects, and how they will impact on the financial statements​,
  1. Understanding the practical implementation of the more complex standards,
  1. Understanding the disclosure and accounting requirements in financial reporting of a group of companies​,
  2. Understanding practical implications of using IFRS in specific industries​.

Additionally, this Master Class is intended to offer critical financial reporting insights and provide the participants with a detailed discussion on the various international financial reporting standards and frameworks while exploring the regulatory requirements in Kenya which are associated with the various standards to be covered. It will also be a good opportunity for delegates to build their professional skills and network with other like-minded professionals in the same field.
