Morgan International and IASeminars have planned over 90 different technical training courses for Dubai, New Delhi and Warsaw in November 2008 to meet the ever growing demand for professional instruction in IFRS

Beirut, Lebanon, August 8, 2008 - (PressReleasePoint) - International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are now leading the way in the world of accounting and reporting by ensuring that corporations in different countries ‘speak the same language’. This global standard means that financial information from around the world can be compared across borders, so that global investors and lenders can make better informed decisions. More and more regions around the world are adopting IFRS, and the USA is expected to follow within the next few years. Until that time, US GAAP remains an alternative set of internationally-acceptable accounting principles, and the technical differences between IFRS and US GAAP continue to be significant.

Following on from the success of our earlier IFRS & US GAAP courses, Morgan International and IASeminars have now expanded their joint course offerings for the Autumn of 2008. To meet the ever growing demand for professional instruction in IFRS, over 90 different technical training courses have been planned for Dubai, New Delhi and Warsaw in November 2008.

These joint Morgan and IASeminars courses will cover a wide variety of international accounting topics, ranging from the basic to the advanced, and from the general to the specific. They include IFRS & US GAAP overview courses; GAAP comparison courses; specific technical topics (derivatives, M&A, taxes, etc.); industry-specific courses (Oil & Gas and Energy; Manufacturing; Telecoms; Construction; Real Estate; etc.); and courses on financial services (banking, insurance).

In addition to this extensive range of public training courses, many clients may prefer the advantages of an in-house training course, whereby a highly-qualified trainer can give a standard or tailor-made course at a time and place of your company’s choosing. This could be in your offices or at another location – why not bring your team to London or Paris or New York!

As Marc Gardiner, Managing Director of IASeminars Ltd. and Chief Executive Officer of IASeminars worldwide, states: “Since IFRS will become the basis of accounting around the world in the 21st century, it is very important for companies and individuals who seek to remain at the forefront of professional best practice to become trained in IFRS. Working with our partners at Morgan International, we have scheduled many courses in November 2008 and beyond, and we look forward to being of continued service to our clients around the world.” Morgan International’s CEO Fadi Ganni adds: “We are committed to providing more than just training. By providing distinctive added-value through our services, we guarantee the extra edge needed to move forward in the epoch of globalization.”
