Course content and structure

The course purpose is to build on basic financial reporting knowledge by introducing more complex issues, including financial reporting according to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). IFRS is a comprehensive set of standards developed by IASB. These standards are adopted in more than 120 countries, including in the European Union.
 
The course includes recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues and cost after IFRS. Furthermore it includes chosen IFRS problems for example investments, taxs, leasing and revenue recognition.

As preparation for each class the student should read the relevant chapters in the text book and possibly supplementary literature and cases. Classes consist of a combination of lectures and discussions of the literature and cases. The course demands great student effort and activity.
