Overview   

Many entities struggle with accounting recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure relating to financial instruments. Financial instruments exist in all entities and must be correctly accounted for in terms of the new and simplified IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces the former IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  

This new Standard which is mandatorily effective from 1 January 2018, also includes requirements for impairment, derecognition and general hedge accounting.  

IFRS and IFRS for SMEs expert Anton van Wyk M.Com, CA(SA) is presenting this webinar on 24 March 2020 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.
