Ziele

The roll-out of global accounting standards has been publicly supported by many international organisations, including the G20, World Bank, IMF, Basel Committee, IOSCO, and IFAC.

IFRS have currently been adopted by more than 135 countries which make it the "preferred financial language" overall.

Nevertheless, being widely adopted does not mean it is simple. PwC professionals introduce you to this language in a very pedagogic way and illustrate concepts with real life and concrete examples taken from their daily experience.

PwC’s Academy proposes a programme that has been developed for those who are not familiar with IFRS and would like to gain basic knowledge in this area.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • explain general concepts of the standards presented during the course and their impact on the preparation of financial information under IFRS
  • book current transactions under IFRS
  • apply requirements linked to the presentation of IFRS statutory and consolidated financial statements
  • put into practice the basics of the standards
  • assess the impact of a conversion of accounts under IFRS
