Your fortnightly guide to CPD courses (3 February 2023)

HIGHLIGHT EVENTS

Join the workshop in which the speaker will discuss the major categories of corporate risk, common "red flag" symptoms of corporate failure, common window dressing techniques for Hong Kong listed companies and more, illustrated with case studies.

HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (new Standard) which replaces HKFRS 4 Insurance Contracts has become effective from 1 January 2023. This new Standard may affect more than solely insurers and its impact should be considered carefully. There is now a good opportunity for our members to join a 2-day face-to-face workshop to get to know the principles and acquire a working knowledge of the new Standard. The workshop will be held on 22 and 29 March. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't miss the chance.

The expected credit losses (ECL) model in HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments has been in application for several years. However, regulators continue to see application issues on estimating and evaluating ECL.

In this e-learning session, speakers go through the key accounting and auditing considerations in the impairment of trade and other receivables of non-financial corporates with reference to several interesting illustrative examples in an easy-to-follow and conversational manner.

Enrol in the two new e-Series courses on the topics of corporate and strategic finance, risk management and internal control to enhance your professional development.
