Overview
The transition to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) requires an unprecedented level of change in the areas of financial accounting and reporting. IFRS involves much more than reorganizing the chart of accounts. It represents a change that cascades well beyond the finance department. Among the areas warranting your attention are human resources, legal, regulatory, tax, treasury, contract management and information technology.
This unique four-day Boot Camp is ideal for any financial professional who needs to quickly get up to speed with IFRS. It provides you with an in-depth pronouncement-by-pronouncement review of IFRS. You will be able to develop your own implementation roadmap. You’ll leave with a solid understanding of these new reporting standards, a comprehensive set of reference materials and the confidence you need to avoid the fire-drill type atmosphere that characterized compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley.
You may also take an additional one-day Boot Camp that provides even more in-depth analysis and guidance on the new IFRS rules on financial instrument recognition, measurement, disclosure and presentation including the new IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39. Learn more here
