About the workshop
This workshop explores the major accounting requirements relating to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It is intended to provide participants with a solid understanding of what is required to comply with the Standards, including those that have recently been introduced.
