Certificate in International Financial Reporting
Since the formation of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in 2001, the harmonisation of financial reporting has become an important driving force for accounting, economic and political reform in many parts of the world.
Convergence of financial reporting standards has considerable benefits to preparers of accounts, for listed companies, investors, multinational business and the global economy.
Reducing the barriers to multinational investing and promoting a more efficient and transparent capital market requires the adoption of a robust set of principles based financial reporting standards, broadly accepted and supported by the wider international accounting and investing community.
Since 2005 all listed companies in the European Union (EU) have been required to prepare consolidated company accounts in compliance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In many other parts of the world there is an increased acceleration towards adoption of IFRS or for the harmonisation of national accounting standards with IFRS.
The Certificate in International Financial Reporting (CertIFR) is an ideal qualification to help you develop an understanding of IFRS or gain formal recognition for your existing IFRS skills and knowledge. Cost effective and flexible, CertIFR provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of IFRS and is delivered entirely online.
