Mazars Hong Kong Seminar - HKFRSs 9 & 15: Key Changes (22 Nov 2018)

About this seminar

There is no doubt that HKFRSs 9 and 15 are the most important accounting standards that are newly effective for 2018. They fundamentally change the ways in which entities account for their revenue and financial instruments which are difficult to understand and apply. More importantly, it is critical that the preparers of financial statements have a grasp of the new requirements because it could avoid any delay in the coming audits, for example, it could be time-consuming to identify the affected transactions or contracts that existed during the year if the existing data system does not have such a function.

In this seminar, the speakers will cover the aspects of HKFRSs 9 and 15 which entities commonly encounter, including:
