Overview

The preparation of consolidated financial statements is a challenging task for accountants working in professional practice and industry. The related rules are diverse and the accounting and disclosure requirements have changed significantly with the introduction of FRS 102. The audit of groups is governed by ISA 600, a standard which regulators tell us is often misunderstood and poorly executed.

This half-day seminar will use practical examples and real group accounts to highlight the key consolidation adjustments and the practical challenges to provide helpful guidance to ensure that delegates’ accounts comply.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
