Introduction

Go To Top

This two-day course focuses on the specific accounting and reporting requirements for manufacturing industries. Our expert instructors discuss the critical issues that go beyond mere number-crunching and explain, clearly and simply, the way that manufacturing companies conduct and shape their accounting and reporting practices.

By reference to accepted accounting practices in the sector, delegates will leave this course with practical knowledge of the principle-based IFRSs that are applicable to the manufacturing sector.

Participants will, for example, learn how to relate the IFRS standard on inventory to recoverable material, logistics charges and customer–supplied inventory and will understand how to deal with asset retirement obligations and held-for-sale assets. Our instructors also fully explain how to apply the revenue recognition principles to price protection clauses and repurchase options, and the accounting requirements for provisions and contingencies related to warranties, indemnification, litigation, restructuring charges, and other claims that are unique to manufacturing operations.

In addition, comparisons with US GAAP are integrated throughout the course materials so that delegates are well informed on international best practices and develop an awareness of issues that may arise during the convergence of IFRS and US GAAP requirements.

Case studies and financial statements are used throughout the program to promote discussion and illustrate the real-world application of financial standards to firms in the manufacturing sector.

This valuable course answers questions such as:

• How are recognition and measurement rules applied to long-lived and intangible assets, leases, inventory, financial assets and liabilities, provisions and contingencies, and employee compensation?

• What are the financial statement presentation, consolidation, and disclosure requirements of critical importance to manufacturers?

• When will the new business combinations standard become effective and how will it change current practices?

• What are the accounting requirements for inventory recognition, measurement, reporting, and disclosures?

• How are IAS 18 and US GAAP applied to complex revenue recognition situations?

• What are the significant upcoming accounting issues that will affect manufacturing firms?
