نبذة عن الدورة التدريبية
International Financial Reporting (IFRS) is the indisputably global solution for any country in the world to integrate into the international capital markets. There is virtually no room for a local solution in this category, and an increasing number of entities are moving to IFRS. Access to capital from both the domestic and international arena is inextricably linked to the integrity and international credibility of financial reporting.
The IFRS standard setters have been pursuing a process of revamping standards to improve global financial reporting and this course is a necessity for IFRS preparers and users to be up-to-date with current standards and trends.
This course offers the learner a comprehensive understanding of the essential elements of IFRS; beginning by building on the foundations laid by the IASB’s mainstream IFRS standards.
The course develops key skill competencies through the application of sound theoretical content within a practical, real-life inspired case-study based environment.

- عرض:Indeed, it was a well-organized training and I was very happy how LEORON has organized this CIFRSS program. From the first day to the completion of the program everything has gone smoothly. The services provided by the Hotel were excellent and the location is marvelous as well. Although I have a good knowledge in IFRS, however this training has normously increased and improved my knowledge and experience in this subject. Geoffrey is an excellent instructor since he knows superbly how to concur between the theoretical and practical information for the purpose of being absorbed readily by the peers. He welcomed any query proposed by the peers and answered back immediately with practical examples and excellent patient. Moreover, the contents of this program have been fraught of practical cases which will certainly help us to understand and apply easily the IFRS during our work. I recommend everyone to enroll for this program since what I expected from LEORON has been realized. -AHMED TAWFIK & CO. CPA, Doha – QatarANTONIO GHALEBSenior Audit Risk Manager
