Description

Accounting involves the painstaking process of recording, analysing, and reporting all the economic activities and financial transactions of a business. The information that can be gained from this process provides a complete picture of a business’s performance and allows executives, managers, and investors to make well informed decisions that will yield beneficial results. To ensure the accuracy, consistency, and transparency of financial information, businesses rely on standards that detail how specific types of transactions should appear in financial statements.

The International Accounting Standards Board is the governing body that issues international accounting standards that serve as a framework for financial reporting. The points of these standards are to ensure the transparency and stability of how accountants report their accounts and to have a common accounting language that businesses worldwide can use and understand. You can learn more about international accounting standards and its application and implementation with the aid of this course.

This Online International Accounting Consultant course will explore the international dimensions of accounting and its associated concepts. It will discuss what financial statements are and their objectives, purposes, and value to companies.

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.
