About the course
The treatment of financial instruments can sometimes be very complex and it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the rules involved within the IFRSs to apply them properly. Getting this wrong could have a big impact on the financial statements.
There are three separate IFRS areas to consider regarding the accounting for financial instruments. IAS 32 deals with the presentation of financial instruments, IFRS 7 with their disclosure, and IFRS 9 with their recognition and measurement. These Standards need to be seen as something of a package.
