Hi,
I am planning to take DipIFRs, please advise on where I can get the resources.Thanks
July 31, 2024 at 11:46 am #709038Hello again! I remember you 🙂
To be honest, DipIFR will not add anything to your credentials. This qualification was introduced more than 20 years ago (I know, I worked on developing the syllabus, exams etc) and aimed at those qualified under UK gaap (before it became so aligned with IFRS).
As it says here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/qualifications/glance/dipifr/overview.html “If you are a finance professional who is NOT already knowledgeable about the details of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) …” – but your ARE. In terms of syllabus coverage/exam docs, DipIFR is pitched somewhere betweem FR and SBR.
If you are looking for additional credentials, you might consider other certifcations instead – see https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/qualifications/glance.html for links
I am sure there are lots of other qualifications out there, but this is not my field of expertise and I don’t know what would be relevant to your aspirations.

That is really wonderful piece of information that I was looking for.
I just wanted to keep the knowledge of IFRSs stick. Are there other platforms where I would get engaging reads about IFRSs? or are there specific tips that you would advise that will help in this regard?
I often visit ACCA technical articles under SBR and FR to refresh my knowledge. However, I would like some engaging case studies that would challenge me in different setting considering that I am not fully using my knowledge in my current duties.Thanks.

The big topic that you won’t have studied is IFRS 18 – browse the internet to follow developments with the Big 4:
