IFRS Technical Update and Application

Financial reporting standards change frequently, and preparers who fall behind risk qualified audit opinions or restated financial statements. This course brings accountants and auditors up to date with recent and upcoming IFRS requirements relevant to South African reporters, focusing on practical application to revenue, leases, financial instruments and impairment rather than theory alone, using realistic local company examples.
