Where to take IFRS courses in Moscow?

If you decide to study IFRS and are looking for suitable courses to study, then start by testing your level of knowledge. Take the “Do you know IFRS” test for free and receive objective data on your preparation and useful recommendations. Its results will greatly help you in choosing the appropriate training program.

In 2016, there was a large surge in demand for financial specialists who are proficient in preparing financial statements under IFRS. At the same time, the level of wages has also increased sharply. Today, an accountant who knows international standards and knows how to apply them in the process of preparing financial statements earns 40-60% more than his colleague working according to RAS. And if his transformation skills are confirmed by a prestigious international qualification in accordance with IFRS, then the salary can exceed 100,000 rubles per month.

It is no secret that large companies whose securities are traded on the stock market, as well as organizations engaged in insurance and credit activities, are required to submit reports in accordance with IFRS. The trend is that by 2017 these changes in the accounting and reporting system will be applicable to all medium and small businesses in Russia. Consequently, today, knowledge of IFRS is a strong competitive advantage, which tomorrow will become the main requirement when hiring.

According to the results of a study conducted among accountants and financial specialists in Moscow, only 3% of respondents are familiar with international standards. 10% periodically encounter IFRS in their work, but for now they apply them under the strict supervision of more competent colleagues. But 17% of accountants reported that they do not know IFRS at all and do not intend to study them in the near future. But the majority of survey participants (70%) are not yet able to keep records according to IFRS, but are seriously aiming to acquire these skills in 2017. In their opinion, the best training can be provided by professional organizations and training centers that produce internationally certified specialists.

"IFRS. Basis" is an online course that will allow you to acquire a strong knowledge base on international financial reporting standards and learn how to effectively apply it in practice. After passing it, you will be able to receive an international British IPFM diploma.
