Understanding Financial Statements

During the course, basic accounting issues will be studied. This includes foundations, techniques (double-entry), and basic items of the financial statements such as inventories, property, plant and equipment, receivables - payables, intangible assets, revenue recognition, etc. Some basic but more complex accounting issues will also be included (provisions, events after the reporting date, etc.) The course is not designed to explain a specific set of accounting regulation. During the course - where it is needed - the IFRSs are used as illustration and sometimes the Hungarian rules are explained.
