International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS)

• 03/19/2018 - 03/23/2018  Ebene, Mauritius
  
  

  This seminar is designed for mid- to senior-level officials in central banks and bank supervisory agencies directly
  responsible for prudential regulation, on-site and off-site supervision of banks. The seminar will be held in Mauritius,
  during March 19-23, 2018.
  IFRS has been adopted in most countries in the region and the implementation of IFRS 9 from January 2018 is expected to
  usher in a paradigm shift, in the manner in which financial institutions classify, measure, and account for impairment of
  financial instruments. Intricately connected to IFRS 9 are two other accounting standards, IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments:
  Disclosure) and IFRS 13 (Fair value measurement of financial instruments). The goal of the seminar is to enhance the ability
  of prudential regulators and bank supervisors/examiners to understand the implementation challenges of IFRS with
  specific focus on these standards. The seminar is designed to expose officials to the underlying concepts of these standards
  and equip them with the tools and techniques for conducting supervision of banks/financial institutions under the new
  framework in the most effective way.
  A key objective will be to raise awareness of the inter-linkages among these standards and implementation challenges.
  After completing the seminar, officials will gain insight into the implications of IFRS 9 on credit risk models and blend the
  IFRS 9 requirements with existing methods and models used for risk and regulatory purpose. The seminar will help prepare
  participants for an efficient transition to IFRS 9 and design supervisory frameworks appropriate for their jurisdictions.
  Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and learn the following:
   Critical aspects of IFRS 7, IFRS 9, and IFRS 13
   Classification and Measurement and Impairment of Financial Instruments under IAS 39 & IFRS 9
   Asset classification & Provisioning -Regulatory Approach
