The training will be conducted in English to enable participation from all employees regardless of their native language. Delivering the training in English also allows it to be utilized across an international organization and supports the development of consistent IFRS expertise.

The IFRS Basics training provides a clear and practical introduction to the key principles of International Financial Reporting Standards. You will explore the core concepts of the most relevant IFRS standards through practical examples and comparisons. The course also highlights how IFRS requirements differ from Finnish accounting standards and how these differences affect financial reporting in practice.

This training is ideal for finance and accounting professionals who have limited experience with IFRS and want to strengthen their understanding of IFRS standards and their practical application. It is also highly recommended if your company is planning or considering a transition to IFRS reporting.

Build a solid foundation in IFRS and continue your learning journey with IFRS Academy’s advanced courses focusing on specific standards.

The chair of the training session is Nina Sormunen, Senior University Lecturer, Aalto University.
