About the Course
A shipping alert! Are you ready for the new accounting standards for revenue recognition, financial instruments and leases?
It may be time to take action sooner than you thought. The new and changed accounting standards are bringing big changes with a bang!
On top of this, recent years of diminishing growth in freight rates and vessel values due to slowdown in the global economy and international trades have been accompanied by challenges and issues faced in financial reporting for shipping and offshore companies.
Specific questions have been raised relating to vessel impairment, leasing and sale-leaseback, ship financing loans and borrowing costs, residual values and useful economic life for the purpose of revenue and cost recognition, depreciation calculations, charter terminations, financing issues and going concern.
Accounting and IFRS for Shipping Industry course will highlight key accounting standards most relevant to shipping and offshore companies in the current economic climate and guide participants on how to implement them effectively in their scope of work. The course will examine key proposed IFRS/IAS revisions under evaluation and identify how these could affect shipping companies if approved and implemented.
Accounting and reporting procedures for joint arrangements such as ship pooling and the use of financial instruments and derivatives will be covered as well. In addition, the course will also address practical issues and challenges which ship owners and operators face in bookkeeping and first time IFRS adoption in times of difficult market conditions.
