Industry Expert Lecture – Details

I had the privilege of delivering an enriching “Industry Expert Lecture” to approximately 150 B.Com students via a Google online meet. Over a course of 2.5 hours, we delved into the intricate world of International Accounting Standards, focusing on three crucial topics: IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements, IAS 8 – Accounting Policies and Changes in Accounting, and IAS 10 – Events After the Reporting Period.

Throughout the lecture, we explored the intricacies of these standards, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of financial reporting, accounting policies, and the critical aspects of recognizing and addressing events occurring after the reporting period. My aim was not only to convey the technical aspects of these standards but also to instill the practical knowledge and skills that are invaluable for their academic and professional journey.

With a dynamic and engaging approach, I aimed to make the complex world of international accounting standards accessible and relatable to the students. The interactive session encouraged questions, discussions, and a deeper exploration of the subject matter. As a passionate educator and finance professional, my goal is to equip these students with the tools they need to excel in their studies and future careers. The lecture received positive feedback, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the academic growth and success of these young minds.
