Then these courses will meet your requirements.
From 2010/11 all UK Local Authorities will need to report under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Did you know that the date for transition of your Balance Sheet is actually therefore 1 April 2009? Local Authority Finance Departments are preparing themselves for the transition. The first step is to gain an overview of how the standards will differ from your existing accounting & how this will impact on your financial statements. All members of your Finance team will benefit from the opportunity to hear and discuss the impacts of these changes.
