The constantly changing world of accounting standards

Understanding accounting standards is one thing, applying them in practice is often more complex. Applying Dutch GAAP, IFRS and US GAAP can be cumbersome, especially if your company is involved in complex transactions. For example the acquisition of another company, foreign currency transactions, the introduction of a pension plan or a share-based compensation plan. The Academy provides you with the solution to account for these transactions.

High-quality training

By participating in the Academy programme, you are able to expand your accounting knowledge, irrespective of the industry you are in. We offer concise, practical, high quality trainings, instructed by PwC specialists. Recent developments are well covered and examples derived from our daily real-life experiences are used. Additionally, participating in the Academy programme often earns you CPE/PE points.

IFRS

Our core training programme consists of the IFRS Master Class. The IFRS Master Class consists of eight modules with a duration of four hours each, except for module five which consists of two sessions with a duration of four hours each. The IFRS Master Class is instructed in English. You may subscribe to all eight modules or only to the ones you think are relevant to you. The subjects covered include a wide range of IFRS related topics, ranging from an introduction into IFRS to specific accounting rules related to employee benefits and business take-overs. Additionally, an annual IFRS update training is offered covering recent developments related to IFRS. For “Non-Listed Private Entities”, a 2-day training is offered in Dutch, outlining IFRS standards in order to highlight the consequences of converting to IFRS. Additionally, differences between IFRS and Dutch GAAP are covered in this 2-day training.

US GAAP

US GAAP trainings are offered as inhouse training.

Dutch GAAP

Several Dutch companies continue to report under Dutch GAAP. The curriculum of the Academy therefore includes a training relating to recent developments in Dutch GAAP. This training is offered in Dutch.

 

We offer you, besides our open training modules, also the possibility to organise accounting training inhouse. This inhouse training can be tailored for your company or can be similar to the open accounting training modules offered on this website.

This tailored training formula can bring to you the following additional benefits:

• You save time and money: since a tailored course is priced per day and not per person, an entire team can be trained for a fixed agreed fee and participants spend less time away from the office
• Tailored content: the course is designed to address those issues that are relevant to your organisation. Furthermore, sensitive issues can be discussed in confidence
• We can organise a post-course debriefing to discuss any question you might have after the participants have taken the time to assimilate the information provided during the course.
• The inhouse training will be held on the time and location of your choice
