With IFRS 18 introducing major changes to how companies present and disclose financial information, finance professionals across the Middle East are encouraged to stay ahead of implementation requirements.
BDO has released introductory training material on IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and will affect all entities applying IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with earlier application permitted.
To support professionals in understanding and applying these changes, BDO Global is offering a series of online training courses led by IFRS experts.
The training includes the following courses:
- General requirements
- Statement of profit or loss*
- Statement of other comprehensive income
- Statement of financial position
- Statement of changes in equity
- Notes and Management-defined performance measures*
*These courses contain the majority of the significant changes introduced by IFRS 18 compared to IAS 1. The course suite, however, comprehensively covers all requirements of IFRS 18, including requirements that remain largely unchanged from IAS 1.
You can explore the full set of IFRS 18 courses through BDO Global’s online training directory.
