About this course

The seminar has a practical approach and is split into two modules. The first module covers financial instruments accounting under IFRS 9. Learning is based on a heavy use of real examples, taken from the practical discussions that the teacher has had with European global banks. Derivatives, repos and contingent convertible (CoCos) are covered in detail.

The second module covers consolidation of structured entities under IFRS 10. The module is taught with a hands on approach, dissecting and performing a step by step assessment of two real life cases: (i) an RBS deleveraging securitisation executed with Blackstone and (ii) an investment fund sponsored by Deutsche Bank.
