The principle of control in IFRS remains one which is often misunderstood and can be challenging to apply, with significant implications for preparers.
This seminar examines the definition of control, focussing on practical challenges which can arise in making the assessment. The in-depth review includes frequently asked questions around the elements of control such potential voting rights and the principal vs agent assessment, the latter of particular importance to asset managers.
Learning objectives
This masterclass aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the concept of control in IFRS.
