International Financial Reporting Workshop
|
Modern accountants are aware that the focus is
shifting from national to international standards. |
IFRS Workshop – An Overview
Realising the importance of building the capacity
amongst the accounting professionals towards
embracing the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) by 2012, IAI now collaborates with
ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants) a global professional accountancy body
to organize the International Financial Reporting
Workshop.
Due to the positive response from the public in the
first International Financial Reporting Workshop
held in November, ACCA and IAI are pleased to
organize the workshop for the second time in March
2009.
What
is the Workshop all about?
The International Financial Reporting Workshop is a
4-day workshop developed based on ACCA’s Diploma in
International Financial Reporting. It is an
intensive workshop organized by IAI in partnership
with ACCA with the objective of bridging the gap
between the existing National practice and IFRS. It
is divided into two 2-day sessions covering areas in
IFRS so as to give the participants a better
understanding and appreciation on IFRS.
Participants who successfully complete the workshop
will be given a joint certificate of attendance by
ACCA and IAI.

About IAI
The Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia or the Indonesian

Jakarta on 23 December 1957 and is the only
accountancy body recognized by the Government in the
Republic of Indonesia. The Institute provides a wide
range of services to its members and to the public,
including the development of professional standards,
establishing continuing professional education (CPE)
events, conducting public accountant certification
exam, publishing magazines and other publications
and developing a close network with the
international community. All the activities and
services are established based on IAI’s mission: “To
provide a vehicle for continually enhancing the
competence, integrity and commitment of its members,
in developing the knowledge and practices of
business finance, attestation services,
non-attestation services and accountancy, in such a
way that would contribute significantly to the
society.”
The members IAI are spread throughout Indonesia and
many of whom are holding strategic position either
in the public or private sector. IAI now has 7,000
active members. The Institute also opens its
membership to non-accountants, in this regard to

prominent role in AFA in 2006-2007 when IAI
President was elected as AFA President and IAI as

these international organisations, IAI members would
have access to update the knowledge and professional
development at global level. Through such
engagements, too, the international community has
recognised the level of accounting profession
befitting international standards as well as the
importance of the role that IAI played in the
development of accountancy profession regionally.
What is ACCA Diploma in International Financial
Reporting?
The ACCA Diploma in International Financial
Reporting (DipIFR) will enable one to cross
boundaries in an increasingly important field of
accountancy. It is designed to develop knowledge of
international standards. It provides an
understanding of the concepts and principles which
underpin them and of their application in the
international marketplace.
DipIFR is assessed by a single three-hour closed
book written exam, which is held twice a year on
June and December at ACCA's exam centres. The pass
mark is 50%.
The Diploma can be studied as an open-learning
course, based on self-contained study packs produced
by the specialist tutors and publishers ATC
(International). The collaboration between IAI and
ACCA on the IFRS Workshop also offers a sneak
