ICAS members looking to boost their knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) have a new opportunity to do so from February 2013 with the launch of a new IFRS diploma.
The diploma, which is being run in conjunction with Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI), will help those who attend to develop an advanced understanding of IFRSs and their implications for decision-makers.
Available via distance learning, the IFRS diploma will provide CAs with the same study materials as those who study it in the classroom.
Participants in the diploma receive online support from IFRS tutors, and can access a wide range of online supports.
On finishing the diploma CAs will be able to apply advanced international financial reporting techniques to the production, and presentation of external financial reports; identify and apply the disclosure requirements relating to the IFRSs; prepare single entity and group financial statements in accordance with IFRS; and be aware of the important areas of international financial reporting currently engaging the attention of both the International Accounting Standards Board and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.
Programme Syllabus
The course begins on 15 February. For further details please call 0131 347 0232 or email businesscourses@icas.org.uk
