FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WORKSHOP
DATE: 9th – 10th March 2017
VENUE: Nairobi Safari Club, Lilian Towers
TIME: 8am to 5pm
IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014 and replaces earlier versions of IFRS 9 and IAS 39 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 however entities can choose to apply the standard before then. Entities need to prepare and assess the possible impact the new IFRS will have on the financials.
Some of the changes introduced include a logical model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting among other things.
ICPAK has organized this Workshop to provide an elaborate understanding on the requirements of IFRS 9 and to get stakeholder/member feedback on the possible impact the adoption will have on the financial position.

- Scope of the standard, effective date and major differences between IFRS 9 and IAS 39
