For those who have a knowledge of the basic principles of group accounting under IFRS or FRS 102 and seek a refresher of the basic concepts and a practical understanding of the more complex aspects.

We are excited to offer this suite of 3 training topics that, together, provides an accounting walk-through of the integration of a newly acquired business into a group:

• 'Accounting for business acquisitions and goodwill' focuses on accounting for the initial acquisition of a business
• 'Simplifying group accounting' provides practical guidance on group consolidation which covers a broad scope, including that for a newly acquired group entity
• 'Confidence with impairments (non-financial institutions)' provides an understanding of impairments with reference to each of the typical assets in the Balance Sheet of a non-financial institution, including those assets acquired in a business combination and goodwill

Whereas these 3 training topics complement each other to provide the complete accounting journey for a newly acquired business, each of them would also offer significant value on its own as they have been designed to have a holistic scope that is much broader than that which is relevant to a newly acquired business.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

Organisations will have the choice to run our in-house courses online or in-person. 

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.
