We share our expertise through practical training sessions designed for finance and accounting teams. Each session combines methodological input with practical case studies, for a build-up of skills that is directly applicable in your day-to-day professional work.
Luxembourg accounting
This course lets you master the fundamentals of accounting under the Luxembourg standard chart of accounts (Lux GAAP): account structure, routine entries, year-end operations and the preparation of annual accounts. It is aimed both at beginners and at professionals wishing to consolidate their knowledge.
Consolidation of accounts
We train your teams in the logic and practice of consolidation: defining the scope, integration methods, harmonisation adjustments, elimination of intragroup transactions and production of consolidated statements. The training draws on worked numerical examples taken from real situations.
IFRS standards
This session helps you understand the main IFRS standards and their practical impacts: key differences from Lux GAAP, treatment of the main items and the approach to transitioning to the international framework. It is particularly useful for entities belonging to listed or international groups.
