Overview   

Accounting professionals know that the main objective of compiling financial statements is to provide useful information to users of those financial statements. These users (current and future) need to make important decisions regarding their interests in the reporting entity.  

While this may sound obvious, there is need for constant reflection on whether the financial statements we prepare are indeed useful. As compilers, we need to ensure that every financial report we produce is communicating correct information as required by International Financial Reporting Standards as well as the Companies Act.  

Join Jako Liebenberg CA(SA) on 16 March 2023 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. as he discusses how to correctly draft financial statements based on the requirements of IFRS for SMEs and the Companies Act.
