International Public Sector Accounting Standards Webinar

Reference:IPSAS23
This event is now over.

ACCA Ireland are inviting you to our International Public Sector Accounting Standards event which will be delivered by Robert Kirk. This online seminar will take place on Wednesday 12th of April 2023.

 

This short three hour webinar will introduce the international public sector accounting standards (IPSASs) which are likely to be introduced throughout the public sector throughout the European Union.

This represents a major change in reporting for the Irish public sector and it is important that accountants working in that sector can get a lead into the main issues arising from each of the 44 standards issued to date.

 

Key Topics

The webinar will briefly cover the main points in each standard and this will be illustrated by examples taken from organisations throughout the world that have already adopted the IPSASs.
