JHB | 19-23 June 2023

Course Navigation

Course Overview
This course provides an in-depth analysis, application methodology and strategy for
implementing IFRS 9 on financial instruments, including hedge accounting and the
treatment for expected credit loss. Delegates will focus on implementation issues
and challenges and discuss case studies on practical application of the standard.
You will have an understanding on “what was” and “what will be” in the world of
accounting for financial instruments. IASB has published the new standard on
financial instruments – IFRS 9. This standard replaces IAS 39. Amendments have
been made in the classification and measurement of financial assets and a new
model for impairment has been introduced. Hedge accounting is also challenging to
implement. This course will help to clarify these issues and help you to get ready to
plan your strategy for the transition to the modified standard.
