DESCRIPTION

Going concern certainly is a hot topic this year with everyone feeling the impact of COVID-19!

This impact must be communicated to users. Companies preparing financial statements using IFRS® Standards are required to assess their ability to continue as a going concern. In the current stressed economic environment arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, deciding whether the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis may involve a greater degree of judgement than usual.

IFRS Foundation have published educational material to support companies in applying going concern requirements. This webinar will provide an overview of this supporting material which brings together the requirements in IFRS® Standards relevant for going concern assessments.
