About the seminar
...................................................................................
With the imminent end of the “stable platform” of the IASB, we can expect significant changes to financial reporting for 2009 and subsequently. It will be helpful to look beyond changes in the FRS to changes already made to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Hence, this seminar will go beyond a presentation of the changes in the FRS to include a review of changes made at the IASB level as well as a consideration of the possible impact arising from the discussion papers and the exposure drafts of the IASB.
Objectives of the seminar:
• To present and explain the major changes in the FRS affecting 2008 and 2009 reporting;
• To highlight the major changes in the IFRS that will have an impact on future reporting; and
• To provide an overview of the on-going projects of the IASB, including discussion papers and
exposure drafts issued by the IASB and their likely impact.
Who should attend? .....................................................................................................................................................................................
