Why you must attend?

The energy and extractive industries are among the most technically demanding IFRS environments in the world. Specifically, professionals in these sectors must master IFRS 6 exploration and evaluation costs, decommissioning provisions under IAS 37, impairment testing under IAS 36, production sharing contracts and commodity price hedging under IFRS 9. Furthermore, regulators, auditors and investors across all major jurisdictions are demanding significantly higher quality financial reporting from energy and extractive industry companies. Consequently, finance professionals who master these sector-specific IFRS standards are becoming the most valuable and sought-after professionals in these industries.

The stakes have never been higher. Specifically, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 sustainability disclosures are fundamentally reshaping financial reporting obligations for power, utility and renewable energy companies. Furthermore, ongoing IASB amendments to IFRS 15 revenue recognition, IFRS 16 lease accounting and IFRS 9 financial instruments continue to create new and complex accounting challenges across upstream, midstream and downstream operations. In addition, mining and petrochemical companies face increasing scrutiny on mine closure obligations, stripping and waste removal costs under IFRS 11, take-or-pay arrangements and environmental liability disclosures. Consequently, professionals who understand these requirements will lead their organisations through the most significant period of IFRS change in a generation.

This programme delivers the technical depth, practical confidence and sector-specific expertise that no other IFRS training can match. Specifically, every session covers IFRS 6, IFRS 9, IFRS 11, IFRS 15, IFRS 16, IAS 20, IAS 36, IAS 37 and IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 applied directly to oil and gas, petrochemical, power, utility, mining and renewable energy operations. Furthermore, real-world case studies and hands-on exercises ensure every participant leaves with skills that can be immediately applied within their organisation. Consequently, professionals who complete this programme will have the technical authority, regulatory confidence and sector-specific expertise to make a measurable difference to their organisation’s financial reporting quality. This is the programme that separates good finance professionals from truly exceptional ones.
