IFRS Teachers

IFRS Foundation education initiative activities designed to support IFRS teachers include:

1. IFRS Teaching sessions
   The IFRS Foundation is holding a series of regional half-day IFRS Teaching sessions, in cooperation with regional academic accounting associations and others to assist IFRS teachers to implement Framework-based teaching. The sessions also aim to encourage teaching that develops in students the ability to make the judgements that are necessary to apply principle-based accounting standards.

2. IFRS for SMEs Train the Trainer workshops
   The IFRS Foundation is holding a series of regional ‘train the trainers’ workshops, in cooperation with regional professional associations and the world’s development agencies. These workshops are part of our programme to build capacity for the implementation of the IFRS for SMEs, particularly in developing and emerging economies. For more information click here.

   On Monday 14 May 2012 the IASB technical staff held a one day event for those teaching IFRSs. The event provided a forum for those teaching IFRSs to

• discuss the development of new and amended IFRSs (especially on those IFRSs that have been issued but that are not yet effective) with the IASB technical staff;
• discuss the development of recent interpretations and amendments to IFRSs resulting from the annual improvements project with the IFRS Interpretations Committee technical staff;
• be updated by senior IASB technical staff on the main principles being considered in developing major new IFRSs that are on the IASB's active agenda;
• participate in a workshop on Framework-based IFRS teaching; and
• provide feedback to the IASB on providing support to those teaching IFRSs.
