Translation Back Office Translates First 17 of 35 Training Modules for IFRS, Funded by the World Bank
September, 2010
The IFRS Foundation, oversight body of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), today published a Spanish—language translation of the first batch of its training material for the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs).
The training material is designed to assist companies and accounting practitioners in applying the IFRS for SMEs, as well as serving as a tool for educators in teaching how to apply the standard. To date, 21 English-language and nine Spanish-language modules are available to download. Once completed, the training material will comprise 35 separate modules—one for each section of the IFRS for SMEs.
The IFRS Foundation is grateful to the World Bank for funding the translation of the training material. A regional three‑and‑a‑half‑day IFRS for SMEs Train the Trainer workshop, also funded by the World Bank, will be held in Panama City, Republic of Panama, from 11 to 14 October 2010.
