It will focus on the structure of the IASB, the Conceptual Framework and selected standards (IAS 1, 2, 16, 19, 36, 37 und 38, IFRS 9, 15 und 16) The accounting requirements will be complemented by introducing the IT and reporting system requirements as well as highlighting the internal and external auditing requirements. The more recent initiatives around non-financial information will be addressed.

The course consists of lectures, home assignments, short presentations by students. The lectures serve to explain the key concepts of the subject matters and their application in practice and are supplemented by the Home Assignments which will introduce the format and style of questions to be expected at the interim and final exam. For each of the classes from week 2 to 5 and 7 some (depending on the number of) students will be asked to prepare and hand in approx. 5 topics / questions no later than the evening of the day before class and should be prepared to share their research in class.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Each student (or small groups) will be assigned a topic to prepare a paper of approx. 3-5 pages and to be shared in class with other students for a duration of approx. 5-10 minutes. The paper and the pre-final presentation slides or texts will have to be submitted to the instructor in order to have a final review. Each student will get to challenge at least one, more likely two other papers and presentations.

It is expected that students actively engage during class.
