About the course

Non-financial assets can make up a significant part of an organisation’s financial statements. With PPE, intangible assets, and inventory to consider, there are a number of standards we need to read and understand when preparing the financial statements.

This course provides structured coverage of the key IFRS standards governing non-financial assets. You’ll work through the accounting requirements for tangible non-current assets under IAS 16, impairment considerations under IAS 36, and the treatment of assets held for sale under IFRS 5. The course also covers IAS 38 for intangible assets, including goodwill and research and development, IAS 2 for inventory valuation, and other relevant standards such as IFRS 16 for leases, IAS 40 for investment property, and IFRS 6 for exploration and evaluation activities.

You’ll come away with a clear understanding of how to apply these standards in practice, from initial recognition through to measurement, depreciation, impairment, and disclosure. This course will give you the confidence to account for a wide range of non-financial assets accurately and consistently, and to provide sound technical support when advising clients or colleagues.
