Course overview
This year's UK and Ireland GAAP Update examines some of the more common errors made in financial statements. These mistakes may be common, but they can result in financial statements that are materially incorrect, which can result in complaints of negligence and run-ins with the tax authority.
This course will enable you to spot the potential pitfalls in revenue, where manipulation can result in unethical behaviour, in basic and compound financial instruments, investment property and fair value accounting for gains and losses, and in deferred tax and the timing of its recognition.
In this course you will:
- Understand the common areas in UK and Ireland GAAP
where mistakes are made and avoid them
- Ensure that the accounts you prepare present a true
and fair view of the companies’ financial position
- Avoid run-ins with the tax authorities by
understanding the issues surrounding deferred tax in financial statements
- Ensure that your revenue recognition policies are
sound and robust so that you cannot be accused of manipulation
- Sharpen your understanding of both basic and compound financial instruments, and how to recognise them appropriately in financial statements, as detailed in Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102
Clarify the official definition of investment property and how and when to account for gains and losses
