If you are not already familiar with the principles of International Financial Reporting (IFR) you may now be facing the challenge of developing a working knowledge of IFR as quickly as possible. To meet this need, Griffith College Cork is delighted to announce that, in conjunction with top accounting lecturer Christy Kearney, it will continue to offer its successful Diploma in International Financial Reporting for June 2013 in Cork.
Christy has a firm and well established reputation as one of Irelands top lecturers and achieved a 90% pass rate on the last offering. To further accommodate students we are now offering the Diploma as an option on Friday afternoons from 2pm - 5pm or on Saturdays as before.
Validated by the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), this diploma is aimed at accountants who need to develop a working knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards.
The six month course will culminate in an examination in June 2013 and successful candidates will be awarded the diploma by the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (DipIFR). The diploma will enable candidates to cross boundaries in an increasingly important field of accountancy. It is designed to develop knowledge of international standards by providing an understanding of the concepts and principles which underpin them, and of their application in the international marketplace.
The programme will run in our Cork city-centre location on Friday afternoons from 2pm - 5pm or as a separate course on Saturdays from 10am - 5pm. The lecture team will be led by Christy Kearney who is an award winning lecturer with over 25 years experience in delivering quality lectures to professional accountancy students of ICAI, ACCA, CIMA and CPA examinations. In addition, he continues to be in high demand by top professional bodies for Continuing Professional Development/Education courses across the country.
