Description

This practical workshop will deepen your understanding in accounting for deferred taxation: FRS 12/SFRS(I) 1-12 Income Taxes. As this is one of the more challenging financial reporting standards for accountants and auditors, the trainer will use multiple working examples to illustrate the major provisions and compliance requirements of FRS 12/SFRS(I) 1-12.

Additionally, some recent amendments to the Singapore Income Tax Act that affect accounting for income taxes under FRS 12/SFRS(I) 1-12 will be discussed. Attend this workshop and learn to confidently apply FRS 12/SFRS(I) 1-12 in your financial reporting and avoid compliance risks.
