Course Description:

The session will deal with the main features and disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement. This accounting standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value in a single standard and applies to all IFRSs that require or permit entities to measure or disclose the fair value of assets, liabilities and an entity’s own equity instruments. IFRS 13 acts as a single source of guidance for fair value measurement, replacing fair value guidance which was previously contained within individual standalone accounting standards, and also introduces extensive fair value disclosure requirements, especially for non-financial items.

Target Audience:

The session is aimed for accounting professionals and financial controllers.

Learning Outcomes:

Besides obtaining a thorough understanding of fair value measurement under IFRS, participants of this session will gain a deep understanding of the impact of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements on the financial statements of financial and non-financial entities. Participants will also learn how to approach fair value in practice in a principled and structured manner through multiple mini case studies.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge on fair value measurement is recommended.
