  Event date Event name Synopsis Materials
1 11 November 2016 ISCA’s Financial Reporting Committee Outreach Seminar
Financial Instruments, Revenue and IFRS Convergence 		2018 is the year in which Singapore adopts the international financial reporting framework and the year two major accounting standards become effective.
 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Financial Instruments are two key accounting standards that are coming into effect from 1 January 2018 with retrospective application to the 2017 comparative year. Singapore incorporated companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) are also required to adopt a new accounting framework under IFRS (hereinafter referred to as “SG-IFRS framework”) with effect from 1 January 2018 with retrospective application to the 2017 comparative year.
 
With 2016 coming to an end, Singapore companies are expected to be well prepared to adopt these two accounting standards and for those listed on SGX, also the SG-IFRS framework. This seminar showcases experienced technical accounting professionals from ISCA’s Financial Reporting Committee who will provide you with insights on the practical application and implications of these accounting standards to your businesses. In addition, we will highlight useful tips to consider in your transition to the new SG-IFRS framework.
