Description

Quarterly Accounting and Tax Update: Identify, Analyse and Apply

A virtual quarterly review of recent developments and what they change for your accounts

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • All levels
  • Up to 6 participants

Accounting and tax requirements evolve continuously, and finance teams often discover changes only at closing or filing time. Information arrives in fragments, through professional newsletters and informal exchanges. The question of which reporting period a change first applies to frequently remains unanswered.

This short virtual quarterly session provides clarity. It presents recent developments in accounting standards, guidance and tax regulation in the UAE, and explains their practical impact on accounts and returns. It also flags the points to anticipate ahead of the coming filing deadlines.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the accounting and tax developments that occurred during the quarter
  • Assess the impact of a development on the company's accounts and returns
  • Determine from which reporting period a measure takes effect
  • Anticipate the key points to watch for upcoming filing deadlines
  • Organise the circulation of relevant information within your team

What makes this programme different

The short virtual format is followed from your own workstation with no travel required
Each development is translated into a concrete consequence for an entry or a return
Participants' questions are addressed live, based on their own situations
