INTRODUCTION
The convergence, globally, of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is gaining pace at a rapid rate, for the preparation of financial statements. This includes bot large corporates and medium-sized companies. Each year more and more countries are implementing IFRS.
As a result of this acceptance of IFRS, more financial professionals are required to have a working knowledge of not only the fundamentals but also the detailed workings. Further, the IFRS landscape is constantly changing and professionals are required to keep up to date.

This course is designed to develop knowledge and skills in understanding and applying accounting standards and the theoretical framework in the preparation of financial statements of entities, including groups and how to analyse and interpret those financial statements. We will take a look at some of the more complex International Accounting Standards (IAS) as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
