Course Details

Under the Companies Accounting Act 2017, the threshold for small group consolidation was significantly lowered, resulting in many more Irish companies now requiring consolidation than previously under the Companies Act 2014. 


Consolidated financial statements present a unique challenge for practitioners and this webinar will take you through some of the key issues encountered in preparing consolidated accounts. 

 

The course focuses on:

  • Consolidation basics & the requirement to consolidate
  • Practical implications on consolidation
  • Consolidation case study
  • Common errors on consolidation
  • Review of live consolidated accounts
