IASB: IFRS Foundation publishes the 4th and 5th parts of its free Framework-based teaching material

31 December 2015

The IFRS Foundation Education Initiative is developing a series of comprehensive Framework-based IFRS teaching materials to assist IFRS teachers to educate IFRS learners more effectively.

The material is designed to support IFRS teachers to develop in students the ability to make the judgements that are necessary to apply IFRS and the IFRS for SMEs and to prepare students for lifelong learning. To train teachers in the use of this material, the staff of the Education Initiative is holding a series of Framework-based teaching workshops jointly with the world's development agencies, international and regional academic accounting associations and others. 

Material on topics is prepared in three separate sections to support Framework-based IFRS teaching of CA/CPA stream (or equivalent) students:

(a)     Stage 1: a student’s first financial reporting course;

(b)    Stage 2: a financial reporting course mid-way to qualifying as a CA, CPA or 
       equivalent; and

(c)     Stage 3: a course immediately before qualifying as a CA, CPA or equivalent.

The stages are necessarily broadly defined to take into account the many different approaches to qualifying as accountants worldwide.
