IFRS 18 Transition Workshop — Illustrated

An illustrated, example-driven workshop for adopting IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. Four modules build practical competence: why IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and what changes; the new structure of the statement of profit or loss (the operating, investing and financing categories and the two required subtotals); management-defined performance measures and the aggregation and disaggregation principles; and retrospective transition. It closes with a hands-on lab that re-presents a full IAS 1 income statement under IFRS 18. Rich with Mermaid diagrams, before/after comparison tables, worked restatement examples and self-checks.
