If you are a finance professional who is not already knowledgeable about the details of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), this qualification has a fast and efficient solution to meet your needs. If you need to develop a working knowledge of the area, the DipIFR can help prepare you.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are mandated in more than 100 countries worldwide. All listed companies in the European Union (EU) have to prepare consolidated company accounts that comply with IFRS. It also affects associates and subsidiaries of EU-listed companies.

Other locations such as Australia, Hong Kong and South Africa have already adopted IFRS or equivalents as their local Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). And many other countries around the world, including India, are moving towards applying IFRS, which is having a significant impact on financial reporting.

Every organisation requires an effective finance function to take the lead on financial planning, financial control and financial reporting. The finance team produces meaningful information to help leaders and managers make informed decisions. This also requires decision makers to have a basic understanding of accounting and to be able to understand financial information and reports.

This course is designed to help the non-financial managers and professionals gain the necessary skills to successfully interpret, analyse and make decisions based on financial information and reports.
