IFRS Institute Webcast - IFRS Requirements on Accounting for Employee Benefits (IAS 19)

This webcast, which is part of the IFRS Institute's Accounting Change Curriculum, provides a discussion of the IASB's latest amendments to the accounting for Employee Benefits (IAS 19).

The amendments include clarification of short-term vs. other long-term benefits, changes to the recognition and presentation of post-employment benefits, and changes in the accounting for termination benefits. KPMG partners and directors also discuss some of the differences between U.S.-GAAP and IFRS in these areas, and provide insights into practical considerations when considering application of IFRS.

The IFRS Institute's Accounting Change Curriculum is designed to keep companies up to date on the latest convergence developments and application of IFRS, and to contribute to the broader education on the future of global accounting standards.

This is the sixth of eleven webcasts in the series. Prior webcasts in our Curriculum series are available for replay on http://www.kpmginstitutes.com/ifrs-institute. Participants in all eleven webcasts (live or through replay) will be awarded a certificate of completion.
