Accounting Training

Companies must comply with the ongoing development of accounting regulations and the increasing requirements for accounting and reporting. In order to achieve this and to be able to efficiently design ongoing accounting and the preparation of financial statements as well as the monthly/quarterly/yearly reporting processes, employees need sound knowledge of the relevant accounting standards and processes. Various corporate divisions are involved in the preparation of the financial statements and the reporting processes and must be informed in order to ensure effective communication at the interfaces.

Changes and Ongoing Development of Accounting Standards – Challenges in Accounting

New questions constantly arise due to the continuous change and ongoing development of accounting regulations. Answering these questions is often challenging due to the complexity of the issues and their impact on various areas of a company. In order to ensure that the current regulations under the German Commercial Code (HGB), IFRS or US-GAAP are up to date and complied with, employees must be continuously trained. In addition, regulators and stakeholders are constantly increasing the requirements for accounting.

Our Accounting Training for a successful career in accounting

Individual training program

Depending on the client’s needs, accounting training can include one-time or regular training courses (e.g. annual update training for the German Commercial Code (HGB) or IFRS). Training courses on specific changes to accounting regulations (examples from the past: German Accounting Directive Implementation Act (BilRUG), IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, IFRS 16 Leases) will help you to ensure that all affected business areas are identified and optimally prepared for the changes. In order to achieve the best possible training success, training courses must be individually adapted to the respective target group and the respective company situation. Concrete application notes and posting examples for circumstances in your daily business are therefore an important part of the accounting seminars. Furthermore, it is also necessary to take account of IT and process changes associated with standards such as IFRS 15 and IFRS 16.

The importance of accounting training in an increasingly digital business world

In a constantly digitizing business world, there is an increasing need to adapt accounting training to the new technologies. The creation of digital competencies is a key element in ensuring efficient and future-oriented accounting. It is therefore essential that our training programs always take into account the latest digital tools and methods in accounting. In doing so, we work with leading providers of financial performance management solutions, such as LucaNet.
