Today, IFRS terminology appears in a wide variety of texts to be translated over and above annual and interim reports published by listed companies. At the same time, the IFRSs are not set in stone and changes to core terminology and concepts are frequent – though often not transparent even to experts.
This seminar aims to introduce non-financial translators to some of the key concepts and much of the core terminology of IFRSs, as well as providing significant experience-based guidance on how to go about translation IFRS-related material.
As English is the base language for IFRSs, the seminar will focus primarily on the English terminology, though links will also be established to certain key terms in other languages (based on participant languages notified to the seminar organizers by May 1, 2013).
