From physical inventories to intangibles most business entities have significant assets other than property, plant and equipment to account for. From the capitalisation of borrowing costs, through work in progress to inventories, a thorough understanding of the standards is critical.

A number of entities will lease buildings or property and the IFRS rules here are potentially very significant. And whilst the capitalisation of borrowing costs or the accounting for investment property may not be relevant to everyone, when they are they can again be very significant.

This course incorporates these non-financial assets which will have great significance to many entities. It brings together the accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements for these important non-financial assets under the IFRS regime.
