About the Course

Financial reporting is undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift — and your presentation frameworks must evolve to match.

With the introduction of IND AS 118 (corresponding to IFRS 18), the blueprint for presenting and disclosing financial statements is changing entirely, replacing the long-standing IND AS 1 / IAS 1. This landmark standard introduces newly structured categories in the statement of profit and loss (Operating, Investing, and Financing), mandates strict new subtotals, and brings unprecedented transparency to Management-Defined Performance Measures (MPMs).

This comprehensive course bridges the gap between regulatory theory and practical application. Through focused modules, you will learn to navigate the complexities of classifying income and expenses, accurately categorize foreign exchange differences and hybrid contracts, and master the enhanced aggregation and disaggregation principles. You will also dive deep into the specific requirements for entities with a "Main Business Activity" (MBA) involving investments or financing.

Stay ahead of the regulatory curve, build robust reporting mechanisms, and become the strategic finance professional your organization needs to ensure seamless transition and compliance ahead of the April 2027 mandate.
