Course Description

Sadly, on March 12, 2020, WHO declared Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) a pandemic; since then, the virus is rapidly spreading around the world. Such unusual circumstances have its significant impact on global trade and business operations of various sectors such as reductions in sales, earnings, or productivity, closure of facilities and stores, inability to raise funds, increments in credit risk exposures, increased volatility in the asset's value, etc. Consequently, these challenges may raise financial reporting considerations for some entities when preparing their financial statements.

The level of uncertainty about the future economic outlook poses a significant challenge when making estimates and assessing a company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This course provides a reminder of the existing accounting requirements that should be considered when addressing the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic when preparing financial statements, highlighting the going concern assumption.

The impacts of this pandemic are considered adverse events that shall be taken into consideration when assessing entities ability to continue as a going concern, and whether the going concern assumption is appropriate.
