Description
This is the PM session of our one-day workshop.
In recent times, cryptoassets have emerged as a new digital asset class. The uses of cryptoassets have continued to evolve since their initial uses for payment or financing. Cryptoassets are not explicitly within the scope of any IFRS Standard. However, due to the lack of prevalence, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) decided to monitor the development of cryptoassets but not to add related projects to its work plan. Nevertheless, some clarity on this matter was provided in the form of an agenda decision by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) on the holdings of cryptocurrencies in June 2019.
ISCA has issued Financial Reporting Guidance 2 (“FRG 2”) - Accounting for Cryptoassets: From a Holder’s Perspective to guide preparers, who report under Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (SFRS(I)s), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) or Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Accounting Standards Council (FRSs), on the accounting for holdings of cryptoassets.
This unique workshop format offers you the choice to attend either the AM, PM or one-day session.
