Implementing the new revenue model
During this session you will have the opportunity to apply the five-step model to real life scenarios, discuss related issues and ask questions in an interactive environment. We will explore some of the more challenging aspects of the new requirements by using a range of examples.
Option A
Impact of transition on financial statements
Depending on your starting point, transition to the amended UK GAAP standards may look different. This session will outline transition requirements for entities adopting the Periodic Review 2024 amendments for the first time and use examples to illustrate the impact on financial statements under different scenarios.
Option B
There’s more to the Periodic Review 2024 amendments than revenue and leases
It’s easy to forget that the amendments include changes beyond revenue and leasing. Affecting many areas of the financial statements, Irina Hughes, Director of Financial Reporting Advisory at Johnston Carmichael, will expand on other important changes that you need to be aware of.
Option C
Reforming the UK’s corporate reporting regime: simplification, modernisation and effective integration of sustainability standards
Have your say on the direction of the upcoming non-financial reporting review. Gemma Johnson, Assistant Director and Michael Ashby, Head of Sustainability Reporting Frameworks at the Department for Business and Trade, will lead this interactive discussion where you can engage directly with the UK government and express your views on what the reform might look like.
