Training overview This programme will cover the following standards: In 2009 the first section of IFRS was issued covering classification and measurement of financial assets. Five years later in July 2014, following the conclusion of the impairment methodology, the final standard was completed and issued with implementation compulsory for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018. With a new approach to classification and measurement, a fundamental shift in impairment methodology and a simplification of the criteria behind accounting for risk management approaches through hedge accounting it is probable that IFRS 9 implementation will have a significant impact on the way financial information is prepared, presented and disclosed. With illustrative examples and interactive sessions hosted by s leading experts in IFRS adoption and implementation specialising in financial instruments training this course will leave you able to understand the impact of the changes from IAS 39 and manage a way through the transitional arrangements as well as breaking down some of the barriers to understand this complex area of financial reporting. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers This new standard establishes a comprehensive new framework for determining when revenue should be recognised and how it should be measured. The new standard will create significant challenges in many sectors of the economy, some of which will find that their revenue is recognised very differently from how it was done under IAS 18 or IAS 11 The implementation date of IFRS 15 has been deferred for a year until 1 January 2018 allowing organisations additional time to prepare for implementation. IFRS 16 Accounting for lease With trillions of US dollars of assets being held off balance sheet the IASB and FASB had the leases convergence project as a priority. The process has taken a significant amount of time to come through to a new standard and the implications will have a significant impact on every organisation. With a new definition of what constitutes a lease and with all operating leases coming onto the balance sheet, financial statements of lessees will look very different. IFRS 16 is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 but there is a lot of work to be done prior to the standard becoming effective. 2
