The course provides participants with detailed knowledge of corporate reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It focusses on the application of selected IFRS. An overview of applicable standards is provided and selected standards (IAS 7, IAS 19, IAS 32, IAS 37, IFRS 9, IFRS 13, IFRS 15, IFRS 16) are covered in more detail. When presenting the selected IFRS, the underlying theoretical concepts are covered before demonstrating their practical application.

By attending the course, the participants obtain deepened knowledge about financial reporting under IFRS. They acquire practice-relevant knowledge in selected areas of IFRS like revenue recognition and financial instruments. The course helps them to understand and critically evaluate selected IFRS as well as to apply IFRS recognition and measurement rules.

The course requires 80% attendance (applicable no matter the manner of delivery). If you miss a class due to illness and you are able to send a doctors note, this absence is excused and not counted towards the missed days for the attendance requirement. The 20% missed attendance allowance (about 1 class) is for other scheduling anomalies (i.e. other class conflicts, work conflicts, other things resulting from the chaos of the human condition). Students do not need to notify the instructor about these anomalous absences. To stay registered for the course you must attend the first class course. The course is currently planned for in-person teaching and will only switch to online mode if required by regulations.
