Applying IFRS: IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments for Non-Financial Entities
The objective of IFRS 9 is to establish principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and liabilities that provide relevant and useful information to users of financial statements. This course explores how IFRS 9 supports better assessment of an entity’s future cash flows by focusing on the amounts, timing, and uncertainty involved. With a strong foundation in classification, measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting, IFRS 9 plays a key role in modern financial reporting.
Designed for accounting professionals and finance teams, this course will help you understand and apply IFRS 9 principles in practice. You’ll learn how the standard differs from previous guidance, how to assess financial instruments, and how to align your reporting processes with IFRS 9 requirements.
