Events
Two key themes run through the programmes:
1. International Financial Reporting Standards - 3 programmes
2. International Auditing - 3 practical programmes
International Financial Reporting Standards
These courses are planned to deliver highly practical courses, emphasising the implementation of IFRS rather than simply looking at the technical rules.
Each course will consist of a short précis of the key rules followed by extensive practical case studies.
There are four programmes to choose from:

International Auditing
As with the programmes on International Financial Reporting, the emphasis in this programme is on dealing with practical issues.
The first programme will specifically concentrate on practical issues that are often raised during an audit. The following areas will be dealt with in detail:
· Analytical procedures
· Audit of accounting estimates
· Avoiding over/under auditing
Throughout the day there will be a combination of paper-based case studies, some role play and some instructor-led discussions.
The second programme will deal with the practical aspects of Group Audit. This is a new programme dealing with Group Audits in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. The course will concentrate on the requirements of ISA 600 and generally accepted best practice in Group Audits and on practical issues that are often raised during a group audit, from the perspective of both Group Auditors and Auditors of Subsidiaries. The course will also feature the use of the new Group Audit Protocol and related questionnaires. There will be a combination of paper based case studies and some instructor-led discussions.
The third programme introduces the new Clarity improved standards from the IAASB, which take effect for all audits of accounting periods ending on or after 15th December 2009. We offer a specialised two day workshop on these new standards which can be arranged to suit your individual organisations requirements by contacting the number below.
