Adoption of IFRS 18 and Its Implications for Central Banks
A five-day programme that prepares central bank finance teams to adopt IFRS 18, covering the new profit or loss structure, mandatory categories and subtotals, MPM disclosure, and transition planning.
Introduction
The Adoption of IFRS 18 and Its Implications for Central Banks Training Course prepares finance professionals in the monetary sector to apply the new presentation and disclosure standard with confidence.

For central banks, these changes affect published financial statements, statistical reporting, and management information. Furthermore, the course covers transition planning, comparative restatement, and disclosure judgement. As a result, participants gain the practical knowledge to deliver compliant, comparable, and transparent financial reporting.
