IFRS Foundation publishes additional teaching material
17 Jan 2014
The IFRS Foundation has published the second part of its Education Initiative’s comprehensive Framework-based IFRS teaching material. The free-to-download teaching material was designed to assist educators in teaching IFRS more effectively.
The material was developed to support those teaching IFRS, helping them to progressively develop students' abilities to make the necessary estimates and judgements when applying IFRS and IFRS for SMEs. The material is presented in three stages, to accommodate students at different levels in their learning process:
- Stage 1 — A student’s first financial reporting course.
- Stage 2 — A financial reporting course midway to qualifying as a CA or CPA.
- Stage 3 — A course immediately before qualifying as a CA or CPA.
The additional educational material is presented in four parts:
- Stage 3 material covering the IAS 8 hierarchy.
- Multimedia presentations introducing IFRS teachers to Framework based teaching and other material.
- Updates to non-financial assets (2014 edition) material in Stages 1 through 3.
- Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish translations are updated for IAS 8 hierarchy and non-financial assets.
