Private debt - Accounting considerations

• AIFM managers
• Service providers

The private debt asset class has proven to be resilient in the light of the changing economical landscape and geopolitical shifts. This asset class is growing quickly in Europe as companies are looking for financing solutions and investors look at private debt as a good diversification to traditional markets.

In close collaboration with PwC's subject matter experts, PwC Academy has designed a debt funds training curriculum that accurately answers many questions around the structure and the administration of private debt funds. It will help participants better understand this specific private debt industry, raising more and more capital and interests from investors.

This particular module covers more particularly the accounting aspects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to understand accounting options available in Luxembourg as well as their implications in terms of processes, governance and disclosure.

• Accounting methods available in Luxembourg for both regulated and unregulated entities
• Best market practices and the different practical options available in Luxembourg

An attendance certificate will be sent to participants.
