IFRS Masterclass: IFRS 10 Control

IFRS Masterclass: IFRS 10 Control (Cancelled)

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. This is critical not only for determining when consolidated financial statements might be required and which entities will form part of the group, but also in identifying which additional disclosures might be required.

 

Presented in an interactive environment with an expert speaker, preparer and auditor participants will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge of the components of control and discuss common practical challenges in the control assessment.
