IFRS e-learning

IFRS e-learning

Free online financial reporting tools from Deloitte

As global capital markets become increasingly integrated, many countries are moving to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For example, in the European Union, companies with publicly traded shares or debt on a European exchange must use IFRS for their financial reporting for year ends beginning on or after January 1, 2005. Research by the world's six largest accountancy firms shows that an overwhelming majority of countries — more than 90 percent of a total 59 countries surveyed — intend to converge with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

"Points the way to how the future of technical accountancy training will look."

  • Real life scenarios to demonstrate application of the standards
  • "Coach me" sections to explain the principles and theory
  • Worked examples to show aspects of the standards in action
  • Reference materials to support learning
  • Printable certificate if you pass the assessment at the end of each module
