Teams that Benefit from this IFRS Fundamentals (incl. IFRS 15 and 16) Group Training
Built for accountants and finance teams reporting under IFRS. FP&A and internal audit teams benefit too. Content adapts to role and experience, so each cohort practices the accounting workflows it owns.

Accountants master revenue recognition and lease accounting through contract-based cases, so month-end judgments are right the first time.

- Model leases in guided labs
- Read contracts like an auditor
Practice use cases

Keep reporting consistent and correct
Finance teams build consistent IFRS application across the close: checklists, templates, and documented judgments.
Workflow friction

- Document every judgment
- Cut rework with templates
Practice use cases

Forecast on solid accounting
FP&A teams understand how IFRS 15 and 16 shape reported numbers, so forecasts and board packs tell the true story.
Workflow friction

- Board questions go unanswered
How the program helps
- Learn revenue timing rules
- Model lease impacts
- Answer board questions well
Practice use cases

Test IFRS application effectively
Internal audit teams learn where IFRS 15 and 16 judgments hide risk, so testing targets what matters.

- Lease populations incomplete
- Findings lack standard grounding
How the program helps
- Target high-risk judgments
- Test lease completeness

Practice use cases

- Findings
Every cohort is tailored: contracts, leases, and the capstone case reflect your industry, entities, and reporting calendar.
Prerequisites: Best suited to accountants, finance teams, and auditors working with IFRS financials. Accounting experience helps but deep standards knowledge is not required, and no prior IFRS specialization is needed. The program adapts to each cohort's contracts and reporting calendar, so every group practices the standards it applies.

Apply IFRS Fundamentals Through Revenue, Lease and Financial Instrument Cases
Edstellar develops accounting judgment by connecting the IFRS framework with realistic transaction cases. Participants apply revenue recognition, model leases, and classify financial instruments before documenting their conclusions. The final integrated case is reviewed for internally consistent calculations, appropriate treatment of contract facts, and a clear explanation of the accounting judgments involved.
- Step 01
Consult
We review accounting experience and recurring questions in customer contracts, leases, or financial instruments, identifying where participants need stronger IFRS interpretation and documentation.
- Step 02
Plan
Framework and presentation foundations lead into the revenue model, complex revenue cases, leases, and financial instruments before the complete IFRS case study.
- Step 03
Align
We align IFRS accounting expertise with finance and audit responsibilities, confirming relevant contract types and providing foundations without assuming specialist standards knowledge.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional customer agreements, lease schedules, and instrument portfolios reflect familiar transactions, allowing teams to compare accounting treatments against a consistent set of documented facts.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants analyze revenue obligations, calculate lease entries, and estimate expected credit losses, receiving feedback on contract interpretation, measurement assumptions, and the support for accounting conclusions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the integrated case for appropriate use of contract facts, coherent calculations and entries, and documented judgments that participants can defend with relevant IFRS reasoning.
