Why you must attend?
Are you interested in advancing your knowledge of IFRS 9 for financial instruments? Look no further than our upcoming workshop. In 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the final version of IFRS 9, which combines classification and measurement, the expected credit loss impairment model, and hedge accounting.
Despite the fact that the implementation date for the IFRS 9 impairment standard was January 1, 2018, many corporations are still struggling with the intricacies of the impairment model and are seeking guidance on its application. In May 2022, the IASB initiated a maintenance project to review and amend IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, based on the findings from their post-implementation review. Furthermore, in October 2022, the IASB tentatively decided on additional amendments for the derecognition of financial liabilities through electronic cash transfers and disclosure requirements for equity investments under the fair value option. This shows that the standard is constantly evolving, and it is important to stay up to date with the latest developments.
The implementation process can take a considerably longer period of time and presents numerous challenges, including the size and complexity of necessary system and process changes, the volume and quality of data required, and the adoption of new classification and impairment models, to name a few. Our workshop aims to provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully navigate these challenges. Led by experienced faculty members with over 15 years of experience implementing IFRS in the UK and other jurisdictions, this course is designed for professionals of all levels who want to gain a complete and in-depth understanding of the new IFRS 9.
Through our highly interactive and practical approach, you’ll gain exhaustive learning of conceptual and practical issues, including how to achieve the amortized cost criteria for financial instruments under IFRS 9, applying the business model test and SPPI criteria on the existing portfolio, and accounting for unquoted equity instruments and hybrid instruments. Join us to learn more about hedge engineering, the documentation requirements of hedge accounting, how to identify ‘hidden’ derivatives, and when to separate hybrid instruments. We’ll also cover similarities and differences between US GAAP and IFRS in the area of derivatives and hedge accounting.
