Overview

IFRS 16 is an International Financial Reporting Standard that introduces a radical new and mandatory approach to lease accounting for lessees: operating leases are no more, and a new ‘right of use asset’ has been created bringing virtually all leases ‘on balance sheet’.

It is now essential that public sector organisations adapt to this new financial reporting standard to ensure you are fully compliant. Whether you’re involved in planning budget options or are involved in preparing the financial statements this expert-led course is the place to start.

Through interactive workshops and examples of best practice, join our public sector focused Understanding IFRS 16 course to help you become more confident with the requirements of the new standard.

Leave the day in a stronger position to apply the IFR16 standard.
