About the training:

This unique multi-instructor ten-day course provides in-depth instruction on all significant requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). It includes coverage of Standards and Interpretations, hands-on case studies, examples, exercises and quizzes. The Masterclass provides participants with the tools to apply IFRSs and prepare IFRS-compliant financial statements. The program focusses on current requirements, but participants are also brought up-to-date with upcoming changes to Standards and Interpretations.

This course is ideal for individuals at all levels within an organization who need to acquire or refresh detailed knowledge of IFRSs. It is aimed at those responsible for making accounting decisions and preparing, reviewing or approving IFRS financial statements. The program does not focus on any single industry but deals with a wide range of sectors.

Presented by experienced IFRS instructors, this program gives participants the benefit of decades of IFRS experience. Our specialist instructors explain the principles clearly and simply and provide real-world examples, including an overview of the requirements for first-time adoption of IFRSs and the practicalities of implementing IFRSs.
