f2 ADVANCED financial reporting 


Syllabus structure 

The syllabus comprises the following topics and weightings: 

A. Financing capital projects: For selected strategic (capital investment) projects to be implemented, funds must be sourced at the right cost and at the right time. This is a key role of the finance function and shows how it enables the organisation to create value. This section looks at the sources and types of funds and how much they cost.

B. Financial reporting standards: The finance function is responsible for narrating how organisations create and preserve value. Different types of narratives are used for different audiences. Financial reporting is used for external stakeholders. This section examines the building blocks for constructing the narratives in the financial statements. It covers the key financial reporting standards on which the financial statements will be based.

C. Group accounts: Organisations sometimes acquire or merge with other organisations to improve their strategic performance, position and prospects. The performance and position of combined operations are reported through group accounts. This section covers the application of the relevant financial reporting standards to prepare group accounts. The topics covered are those that are essential to conducting conversations with different parts of the business about the performance of the group and its component parts.

D. Integrated reporting: In a multi-stakeholder world, there has been a call for broader forms of reporting to cover wider audiences and issues of concern to them. The International Integrated Reporting Framework developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is one of the most influential frameworks that seeks to fulfil this role. This section introduces candidates to the Framework and its components.

E. Analysing financial statements: The analyses of financial statements enable organisations to explain their performance and to compare their performance and prospects over time and against others. It can show how vulnerable they and their business models are to disruption. This section shows how these analyses are conducted and their limitations.
