Today’s organizations are constantly seeking diversification and investment opportunities around the world. Therefore, these companies have to constantly rely on cross-border transactions. In order to properly recognize and account for such transactions, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been adopted by more than one hundred countries to represent a set of high quality global accounting standards.

The “Certificate in Advanced IFRS” course takes a closer look at accounting standards and describes the accounting treatment and recognition rules for standards not covered in more basic IFRS courses. Consolidation, public-private partnerships, joint ventures, leases and revenue recognition are some of the complex topics addressed in this course. In addition, this course takes a look at employees' end-of-service indemnity calculation requirements and allowance for doubtful trade receivables under IFRS 9.

Course Methodology

The course uses a mix of interactive techniques including brief presentations by the consultant, application of theories presented by the consultant, and group exercises to exchange experience and apply knowledge acquired throughout the course.
