The symposium will emphasize challenges encountered when applying principles-based standards so that participants can feel confident about interpreting the requirements of IFRS in different industries and financial environments. Focus will be on practical applications\, case studies\, and common pitfalls observed in practice. \nBringing technical experts and practitioners together in this virtual symposium provides an avenue for deepening understanding\, discussing experiences regarding implementation and enhancing the capacity of finance and accounting professionals.
