Overview

The International Financial Reporting Standards have been introduced into UK and Irish GAAP since January 2005. This is in line with the requirement of the EU directive that all listed companies are to prepare their accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFR Standards).

The Diploma in International Financial Reporting (Dip IFR) is designed to develop your knowledge of IFRS. It provides an understanding of the concepts and principles which underpin them and their application in the international marketplace.

This qualification is intended for professional accountants and auditors, working in practice and industry, who are qualified in accordance with SSAPs and FRSs and who have identified that an understanding of IFRS would enhance their qualifications to date.

“I decided to study with AccountancySchool.ie due to their record of students who had placed 1^st in Ireland and placed worldwide in the ACCA exams. I am absolutely delighted with my choice and every course I have done so far has been taught by excellent tutors who have been approachable, helpful and very knowledgeable. I have achieved high marks in all my exams so far thanks to the help and instruction of the tutors.

I am particularly grateful to Michael Donnelly. The way Michael teaches Audit and Assurance breaks down the questions in a really helpful way and he shows how to achieve high marks in his sample answers. He was very encouraging during our classes and I look forward to studying AAA with him next year. During the course we were able to submit questions for marking which really helped me to see areas that needed improvement and the feedback was really useful. I am so happy to have achieved 1^st place worldwide in AA and it wouldn’t have been possible without Michael and Accountancyschool.ie.”

Lorna Forde – First in the World AA December 2022
“This is my second time writing one of these testimonials with the first being for SBR in June 2022. This time is for both AAA and AFM in December 2022 which speaks volumes about the quality of the lecturers, Michael and Liam, and also AccountancySchool itself. The school is consistent in its students placing first in Ireland and globally and I am sure this will continue into the future.

All 12 of my ACCA exams have been with AccountancySchool.ie and all 12 have been successful the first time around. I want to sincerely thank all at the school for their hard work and dedication over the last 3 years, it has been a pleasure!”

David Bartley – First in Ireland AAA (Joint 1st) and AFM December 2022
“I achieved 1st in Ireland and 5th globally in the December SBR exam, having previously achieved 1st in Ireland and 3rd globally in Financial Management. I would not have been able to achieve this without the help and guidance of the lecturers and team at Accountancyschool.ie

Each lecturer at the school has been exceptional, their teaching style, depth of knowledge, course materials and commitment to students is sure to set all students up for success. The support teams at the school are equally exceptional, always on hand to answer question and ensure you are quickly set up with your course and have the correct material.

Liam who lectures on SBR provides direct feedback on homework questions which helps ensure you learn what you need to score marks in the exam. Dave who lectures on FR did an exceptional job at setting a foundation of the accounting standards which also served me well in SBR.

I couldn’t recommend Accountancyschool.ie enough and am glad I choose the school as my learning provider for my ACCA exams.”

Adam Sheehan – First in Ireland SBR December 2022
“I could not recommend the entire team at Accountancy School enough. This is my 6^th time studying with them and I intend on completing the remainder of my ACCA journey with Accountancy School.

Michael Donnelly broke down the long questions of the exam excellently, ensuring all of us knew the marking schemes and the relevant information to put down to achieve desired marks. This is something I never would have known had I not completed the lectures with him. He made difficult concepts seem less daunting by using every day examples. Michael and the whole team made the process of studying Audit & Assurance easier, with continuous support in correcting homework questions and a mock exam. These resources are crucial in ACCA exam preparation. I cannot thank Michael enough and I look forward to studying AAA with him in 2023.”

Molly McKenna – First in Ireland AA September 2022
“A testament to the hard work of Liam Doran, Dave O’Donoghue and all at AccountancySchool.ie that I could achieve 1st in Ireland and 8th in the world in the latest SBR exam sitting.

Fantastic news to receive after passing my final two exams a couple of weeks ago

Also, a massive thanks to the whole team at AccountancySchool.ie for their support over the past two years to get me through the ACCA programme passing all the exams at the first attempt.”

Brian O’Leary – First in Ireland SBR September 2022
” I’d like to thank Dave and the team at AccountancySchool.ie for fantastic support throughout the lectures and revision sessions.

Dave’s concentration on exam questions and exam technique was vital to my success, and his responsiveness to queries – in both the lectures and by email, was greatly appreciated!

The support team assisted very quickly in granting access to the exam practice platform, which was an invaluable resource for me in preparing for the exam.

AccountancySchool.ie also provided an abundance of online resources, through the Tenjin platform, which allowed me to monitor my progression throughout the various parts of the syllabus.

Overall, I can’t recommend the AccountancySchool.ie highly enough, and I look forward to studying with them for the exams still to come! “

Diarmuid O’Connor – First in Ireland FR September 2022
“A big thank you to Michael Barry and all the team at Accountancy School who made this possible. Michael’s breakdown of the marking scheme and timing was invaluable and his feedback on my homework really helped me develop my answers for the exam. The homework platform was great as it forced me to practice my timing and improve my speed. The constant interaction and support from Michael and all lecturer’s at AccountancySchool.ie makes them top class!”
