IFRS Virtual Boot Camp: Four-Day Certification Program
Overview
The transition to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) requires an unprecedented level of change in the areas of financial accounting and reporting. IFRS involves much more than reorganizing the chart of accounts. It represents a change that cascades well beyond the finance department. Among the areas warranting your attention are human resources, legal, regulatory, tax, treasury, contract management and information technology.
This unique four-day Boot Camp webinar is ideal for any financial professional who needs to get up to speed with IFRS. It provides you with an in-depth pronouncement-by-pronouncement review of IFRS. You will be able to develop your own implementation roadmap. You’ll leave with a solid understanding of these new reporting standards, a comprehensive set of reference materials and the confidence you need to avoid the fire-drill type atmosphere that characterized compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE This comprehensive IFRS Boot Camp webinar will provide in-depth knowledge of the reporting standards that will enable financial professionals to develop their own implementation roadmap.
