Contents

The course provides participants with an overview of corporate reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It enhances their knowledge of selected IFRS and the preparation of (consolidated) financial statements. Thus, the two main topics of the course are selected IFRS on the one hand, and the consolidation of financial statements on the other hand. An overview of applicable standards is provided and selected standards (IFRS 13, IFRS 15, IFRS 9) are covered in more detail. When presenting the selected IFRS, the underlying theoretical concepts are covered before demonstrating their practical application. The course also offers an overview of the legal framework regarding (consolidated) financial statements and of the consolidation scope.

By attending the course, the participants obtain knowledge about financial reporting under IFRS. They acquire practice-relevant knowledge in selected areas of IFRS like revenue recognition and financial instruments.

After completing this course, the students have a good understanding of the scope of IFRS.
