Question 7

What are the IFRIC March 2026 clarifications relevant for Latin American companies?

Accepted Answer

The IFRIC March 2026 clarification on foreign exchange differences from intragroup monetary items is particularly relevant for Latin American multinational groups. Many Latin American companies have significant intragroup foreign currency balances due to the number of currencies across the region — Brazilian real, Argentine peso, Chilean peso, Colombian peso, and Mexican peso — and the IFRIC clarification on how these exchange differences are classified under IFRS 18 directly affects Latin American group financial statements. Shasat's Miami course is the only IFRS 18 training in the United States that specifically addresses this Latin American-specific IFRIC clarification.

Question 8

Does this course address IFRS 18 for companies cross-listed on US and Latin American exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This course specifically addresses IFRS 18 versus US GAAP non-GAAP measure implications for Latin American companies cross-listed on NYSE or NASDAQ alongside their domestic Latin American exchange listing. The interaction between IFRS 18 MPM disclosure requirements and SEC Regulation G non-GAAP rules creates specific compliance challenges for cross-listed companies that are comprehensively covered in this programme. Major Latin American companies listed on both their domestic exchange and NYSE or NASDAQ will find this the most relevant IFRS 18 training available.
