About this seminar
This course provides an overview of the accounting requirements in IAS 2 Inventories which is applicable to entities that hold inventories and are required to prepare financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards or Australian Accounting Standards. The course will provide you with an introduction to requirements for recognising and measuring inventories as well as disclosing information about such assets.
How this seminar will help your business
Notwithstanding that many entities hold inventories, we often find entities incorrectly accounting for these types of assets for a range of reasons, including incorrectly identifying inventories as other types assets and consequently accounting for them under standards other than IAS 2. For example, sometimes it can be difficult to determine whether an item should be accounted for as inventory, property, plant, equipment or as an investment property. This course will not only provide you with an introduction to IAS 2, it will also assist you to identify the correct standard to apply to a transaction through the use of worked examples.
