Background information
The major accounting frameworks’ standards on financial instruments have been amongst the most far-reaching and daunting to implement for financial statement preparers. Topped up with the unrelenting emphasis on fair value and the difficulties that arise from its measurement, providing assurance on financial instruments within today’s increasingly demanding marketplace is fraught with risks and challenges.
This CPE event will focus on the practical aspects of providing assurance on financial instruments within audits and reviews of financial statements and assurance of valuation engagements. Several types of financial instruments of varying complexity will be examined, including considerations on methodology, context, estimates, mind-set and resources.
Objectives
The CPE event will endeavour to equip participants with an improved working knowledge of how to effectively approach financial instruments in the course of assurance engagements.
Topics
The session will touch upon various topics, broadly grouped into the following sections:
— Scope
— Classification
— Measurement
— Fair value estimates
— Disclosures
Target audience
Assurance professionals, financial statement preparers, NAV calculation agents
