Overview   

Asset accounting generally comprises the largest portion of the work that we do, and there are many key principles that flow from accounting for property, plant and equipment to financial assets. 

During this webinar we will be looking at a comparative view of accounting for various assets and the challenges that each class poses, from definitions to recognition, measurement to presentation as well as derecognition.  In our bird's eye view approach we will compare what is similar so as to highlight the differences.
