Learning Objective

  • To know the rules for selecting and applying accounting policies.
  • To discuss the rules regarding when an entity can change its accounting policy.
  • To be familiar with financial statement presentation.

Course Overview

IAS 8 prescribes the criteria for selecting and changing accounting policies, together with the accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates, and corrections of errors. When there is no specific standard that applies to a transaction, other event or condition, IAS 8 requires that Management apply judgment. But just exactly how do you do it?

Guessing will not suffice, nor will management’s insistence on adopting a significant change. Therefore, knowing if the criteria to be applied are acceptable under IAS 8 is critical to satisfying the auditor and management to proceed with changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and corrections of prior period errors, that do not contradict IFRS.

This online CPE webinar covers following key topics:

  • Dealing with a change in accounting estimate.
  • Accounting for prior period errors.
  • Examine the guidelines for categorizing items in the financial statements.
  • Handling transactions when there is no specific standard that applies.
  • Review disclosure requirements.
