| Course objective : | This course will be organised in different sections. All the IFRS norms as well as the most important SIC/IFRIC nterpretations will be covered. The basic principles of consolidation will be explained when the IFRS norms related to this subject will be introduced.
Apart from the explanation of the necessary theoretical basic principles, the course will broach illustrative examples inspired of real situations and problems encountered by companies. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good knowledge of general accounting. |
|
| Workshops : | None. Practical examples and concrete application cases will be analysed during the course. |
|
| Organization : | The course will be introduced following the order of the tabel of contents (see above general introduction). As and when we will broach the different themes, I will explain the divergence zones in relation to the Belgian accounting law. I will give you as well practical examples and concrete application cases, for most of them coming from the practical experience I have gained during several IFRS conversion assistance missions within important Belgian and worldwide companies. This course will be interactive, students will regularly be asked to raise questions and to share their opinions on the different subjects. |
|
| Written notes : | An English version of an exhaustive syllabus as well as an illustrative example of consolidated IFRS financial statements will be at the disposal of the students from the first lesson. Moreover, further analysis and notes will be distributed during the course. |
|
| Assessment : | The evaluation will be done under the form of an oral exam. |
