Meet our core team behind the IFRS Learning Suite. Our subject-matter experts work within KPMG Malta’s Corporate Accounting Advisory Services and deliver seminars from our IFRS Learning Suite.
Our IFRS seminars do not just focus on the technical aspects but also break down the complex matters of IFRS standards into easy-to-digest understandable content.
Our trainers delve into the more judgemental areas of the standard and leverage on their experience in the implementation of the relevant standards, making our seminars as hands-on and practical as possible.
