Category: Financial Reporting | Date: 05/03/2024 12:10 | Duration: 100 mins | Tag: FRCOIE24D1S2 | Type: Webinar | Speaker: Lindsay Webber, Elaine Jackson
Course Details
Using a practical case study, Lindsay Webber & Elaine Jackson will bring participants through the consolidation process for groups under FRS 102.
In 2018, the Companies Accounting Act 2017 resulted in a lower threshold for consolidation for groups, meaning more Irish companies now being required to prepare consolidated financial statements than before.
Several years on, consolidated financial statements continue to present a unique challenge for practitioners and this webinar will take you through some of the key issues encountered in preparing consolidated accounts.
The case study will take you, step-by-step, through the process you need to follow to consolidate small groups.
The areas of focus will include
- Consolidation basics & the requirement to consolidate
- Consolidation case study
- Common errors on consolidation
- Review of live consolidated accounts
Course Level: Intermediate
