About the module

This short course takes a look at what changes IFRS 18 will bring in its wake, and how those could affect you and your organisation or clients.

A new IFRS Accounting Standard is a big deal and it has taken eight years to see IFRS 18 through to publication. It will have an impact on everybody using IFRS as their reporting framework, due to its nature as a foundational standard. Key areas of interest include changes to the structure of the profit or loss account and disclosures around management performance measurements.
