As experienced instructors with practical experience, we provide you and your teams with challenging and practice-oriented training in our (online) seminars regarding general accounting in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and IFRS (both financial and sustainability reporting) and more specifically on the subject of "Accounting for Financial Instruments". The latter is taught in a process-oriented manner in 6 steps, namely in the same way as accounting matters are handled in practice: Recognition, reporting in the balance sheet, measurement at individual level, measurement units, reporting in the income statement or in the comprehensive income and reporting in the notes and in the management report. With this successfully tested concept, we communicate to you the most recent  knowledge in the DACH region in individually tailored courses - in peson and online. In this context, we provide  individual support with comprehensive supplementary material and sound content on all issues affecting your company.

(Online) accounting seminars

The preparation, auditing and analysis of HGB and IFRS financial statements all require, for example, a sound knowledge of the particularly complex regulations on the presentation of and application of financial instruments. Our seminars and webinars will provide you with this knowledge using a fundamental and comprehensive approach. In our seminars and webinars, you will acquire sound theoretical principles and important extended practical knowledge in a practice-oriented manner and individually tailored to your company situation. As a result, you will gain all the knowledge necessary for efficient accounting and orderly bookkeeping through a concise overview.

You and your employees will be provided with detailed and comprehensive training materials, which will also serve as additional support after attending the seminar. All participants receive a certificate of participation at the end of each training course. We also attach considerable importance in this seminar to an application-oriented transfer of knowledge based on numerous examples and case studies.

Our training courses are aimed primarily at employees in companies, banks or public administrations who are responsible for accounting, auditing or analysing financial instruments according to national and/or international accounting standards. This applies in particular to managers, members of the board and supervisory bodies, employees in accounting, controlling, treasury, risk controlling, auditing and corporate headquarters as well as analysts.

Through our proven concepts, we can provide you with excellent practical solutions in the area of HGB and IFRS accounting of financial instruments. Give us a call!
