Accentuating the Positives in your Financial Statements
Comprehensive Financial Reporting Update 2017 Part 2 – IFRS
This course demonstrates how we can create financial statements that really reflect the key strengths of an entity’s position, performance and adaptability while simultaneously recognising the constraints of retaining a true and fair view and the requirements of credit rating and similar agencies.
We all know that there are 3 major new IFRSs becoming mandatorily effective in 2018 and 2019. Time is short and we need to ensure that we have considered the choices available on transition to the new rules. We also need to make sure that the amendments coming into force before then are identified for relevance and impact. This course covers all these and includes some ‘reinforcement’ of current GAAP.

Comprehensive Financial Reporting Update 2017 Part 1 – UK GAAP Since its implementation for accounting periods which started on or after 1 January 2015, we have seen the increasing need for the exercise of judgement and solutions to issues not covered within FRS 102. This course addresses these points together with the new, contentious and challenging aspects of FRS 102 and related Standards plus changes in UK law affecting financial reports. Speakers:

We will consider these more complex aspects of financial reporting and also some ‘old chestnuts’, thus allowing you to identify and calculate appropriate measures for benchmarking and further analysis.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING

FRS 102 – Achieving Compliance and Avoiding the Common Errors
Interpreting Accounts and Reporting Relevant Information
Only now are accountants appreciating how difficult it is to understand and apply the requirements of FRS 102. This course has been designed to aid the understanding of FRS 102 by looking at recently published accounts and by utilising worked examples to illustrate how to achieve compliance and avoid the common errors.
This course analyses the reasons why interpretation is performed and then, using a variety of practical examples, discusses how this affects the work done and the subsequent reporting. We will not just focus on traditional reporting approaches but also consider others such as Integrated Reporting.

IFRS Update This session will examine changes made to IFRS and proposals for future changes in the previous 12 to 18 months and how these may impact different types of entities. It will also review existing IFRS to deal with topics that cause difficulties for many entities, including deferred taxation, financial instruments and cost capitalisation.
UK Financial Reporting Update – Working With FRS 102 And FRS 105 Some companies are producing accounts in accordance with FRS 102 for the second or third time. Everyone must now follow FRS 101, FRS 102 or FRS 105 – unless they choose to follow IFRS. This course will examine published FRS 102 accounts and consider how accounts following FRS 102 Section 1A will differ from accounts following FRS 105.

The Role of The Company Secretary – Part II
What makes a Valued Business Partner?
This course looks in more detail at some of the more advanced company secretarial issues associated with shares, share capital, financing and group structures. As such, it will be of most relevance to company secretaries who work for commercial companies rather than those from the not-for-profit sector.
Being a business partner is much more than words. It requires a rethink in how we conduct F&A processes that touch upon management – from planning and budgeting to reporting and performance management. Speaker:
