What you can gain

A greater understanding of the key requirements of the IPSAS, disclosure requirements and practical implications.

International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) are standards issued for use by public sector entities around the world. They aim to improve the quality of general purpose financial reporting by public sector entities.

The UK public sector applies accounting guidance that is broadly consistent with IPSAS.

The UK public sector has been using IFRS as adopted by the EU since 2009/10 onwards, however IPSAS are relied on where they cover issues not covered by IFRS or IAS.

    Speaker Details
