Accounting Standards Update

Financial Accounting Update with a specific focus on “IFRS 15 and IFRS 16”

An overview will be given of the key accounting standards currently in issue.

Delegates will be introduced to the principles contained in the new standard on Leasing – IFRS 16. IAS 17 is being replaced and the new methodologies are quite different from the way leases are accounted for at the moment. Liam will review the changes and give practical examples for the implementation of IFRS 16 from transition to ongoing application. The course will also review the main principles of IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and concentrate on some specific areas that tend to cause the most difficulty in practice.

Accountants in public practice, finance managers in industry or indeed anyone involved in the preparation of financial statements will benefit from attending this course.
