Diploma in International Financial Reporting

Modern accountants are aware that the focus is shifting from national to international standards.

The ACCA Diploma in International Financial Reporting (DipIFR) will enable you to cross boundaries in an increasingly important field of accountancy. It is designed to develop knowledge of international standards. It provides an understanding of the concepts and principles which underpin them, and of their application in the international marketplace.

The Diploma can be studied as an open-learning course, based on self-contained study packs produced by the specialist tutors and publishers ATC (International). It is assessed by a single three hour examination.
