IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (In-house)
LEORON Professional Development InstituteCourse description
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (In-House)
International Financial Reporting or IFRS is the global standard for financial reporting. Accounting for financial instruments is one of the more challenging and complex areas. The predecessor standard on financial instruments, IAS 39, was withdrawn and replaced by IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018.
The practicalities and challenges to be compliant with IFRS 9 require careful analysis and detailed planning for a successful transition.
This course is a pragmatic “how to do” focusing on implementation issues. Participants will also understand the context: “what was” the standard and “what it is now”.
Instructor-led case studies, in-depth group discussion supported by examples and the “how to” (implement) will upskill Participants’ knowledge for a successful transition to IFRS 9 or -- for those entities that have already transitioned - be an enabling tool for continued compliance with IFRS 9.
Who should attend?
Key Takeaways
- Why the IASB transitioned from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 (the “what” and “why”).
- The practicalities of how to model and determine compliant IFRS fair values.
- How financial assets and liabilities are classified.
- How to implement processes for the ECL model to tackle “staging”.
- The updated hedge accounting standard
- Plus: The course is supported by a series of case studies led by a course director with years of experience. His examples are thought provoking and elicit a significant amount of group discussion, so Participants learn the “how to”. This is not an academic course.
