3 IFRS in India! With the evolving use of technology, changing demographics, growth and evolution of emerging markets, and liberalisation of regulations, the pace of globalisation has been accelerating, leading to an unprecedented expansion of corporates across boundaries. This change has necessitated a common accounting language which is understandable and acceptable across the globe to enable the transparency and comparability of financial information across various jurisdictions. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been adopted by most of the countries, including developed and emerging economies across the globe. The recent adoption of substantially converged IFRS standards in India that is, Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) establishes their relevance in the country and resonates well with the growth of the Indian economy. Further, it is becoming increasingly important for accounting and finance professionals to be financially multilingual. To keep pace with the changing needs of the market, we have a unique opportunity for you a training programme that will prepare you for the qualification of the ACCA DipIFR. About the qualification The ACCA DipIFR is an IFRS qualification established by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the leading international organisation involved in the development of IFRS. The target audience This programme is designed for finance and accounting professionals who wish to acquire skills in reporting under IFRS and become certified ACCA professionals.
