Overview   

The IASB in recent years have introduced significant changes that will materially affect measurement and disclosure in financial statements. These accounting standards include: IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 16 Leases. These standards are already effective for companies reporting on IFRS.  

While many people realise the tremendous impact that the global COVID-19 pandemic has on the economy, it should also be noted that the pandemic has an impact on how to report on the above-mentioned standards. 

Join Milan van Wyk CA(SA) and IFRS specialist on 29 July 2021 from 09:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. as he unpacks these standards for financial directors, accountants and their accounting departments.
