ICAI to hold workshop on International Financial Reporting Standards

New Delhi, Aug 28 : The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will organise a two-day workshop on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) at Baroda in Gujarat from tomorrow.

The workshop is intended to give an overview of application of IFRS in Indian scenario.

It will focus more on concepts that are relatively new under Indian GAAP and on topics which by and large potentially impact the net worth and profit or loss under more common situations.

Considering the fact that a lot of challenges are faced during the first time implementation of any new standard, a special session will be dedicated to sharing implementation experiences by various consultants and users both large and small.

Soon after this workshop, the ICAI will organise a two-day National Conference on IFRS in New Delhi on September 5-6.
