While accounting treatments may be stipulated in the accounting standards issued, some areas are inevitably more challenging and contentious and may require substantial judgement.

In this workshop, the Trainer will discuss the practical and common challenges still faced by Accountants and Auditors in the application of specific SFRS(I)s.
