Hello everyone,
I had a query to be resolved. Can anyone help me knowing details on the IFRS diploma course by ACCA such as process for registering online, pre requisite set of documents required, due date for December exams.
Also, I request you to answer in detail so that no cross questions need to be asked.
Thanks in advance !!

The ACCA website is quite informative. You can take a look at their website and find answers easily http://www.accaglobal.com/in/en/qualifications/glance/dipifr/date-fee.html
First time registered users get one attempt for the exam on 9th Dec 2016. Subsequent attempts cost a fee with the last date of 31 Oct (without late fee) and 7th Nov (with late fee). Check out the link I gave above.
I have checked with some of my colleagues and most of them have done or doing Diploma in IFRS. The ACCA website does not provide a clear distinction between the two except that the Diploma seems to be more oriented towards practising accountants. It seems the diploma is much in depth and at a higher level than the certificate course.
ACCA’s Certificate in International Financial Reporting Standards (CertIFR) offers a broad introduction to the field, and aims to help you understand how they are used globally. The course and assessment are separate so if you are already applying IFRS at work and want formal recognition of your skills, you can apply to take the online assessment only. But if you just want extra knowledge in the field you can choose to take the course only, or you can complete both.
Diploma in International Financial Reporting (DipIFR) is for finance professionals who need to acquire more a detailed understanding of IFRS. DipIFR is a fast and efficient solution that will develop your current knowledge in this field. As well as how to apply the standards, you will learn the concepts and principles which underpin them.
Which qualification you choose depends on your current knowledge and experience. To find out more about each and chose which is most appropriate for you, use the links beneath to navigate to the relevant page:
