Ifrs course - icai vs kpmg?

Hi sidharth, i wanted to talk to you about the ICAI IFRS course certification. Since you have mentioned about the evaluation pattern, I wanted to know about the course material and the teachers provided by the ICAI. Also since its a 12 day course, isnt it too short? Is 100 % attendance compulsary for obtaining the certificate? 

Hi, just to confirm, are there any job oppurtunities big 4 after ifrs from KPMG 

Hey Guys,

I am writing this answer after completing the KPMG IFRS/IND AS tarining of 75 hours, from Bangalore.

I must tell you it is waste of time and Money, they are calling faculty who has no experience of IFRS/ IND AS practically they just keep on explaining the slides of the presentation. I don't know whether the other KPMG like Mumbai, Ahemdabad etc are good or not, but experience with KPMG Bangalore was worst!!!!!!

Waste of money as well as time. I wasted my 10 Sunday which I could have utilised by reading the book of Dolphy Dsouza for IND AS, I would have learned way better then what they taught us in Classes. 80% of faculty was bogus, I felt like they are doing experiment by puting new faculties. We were not learning anything, but those faculty must be learning everyday by seeing our feedback. The faculty was employee of KPMG, and some of them are just having expereicne of 2-3 years.

I suggest, one should go for ICAI, as they call faculty from all over India. Atleast 80% faculty will be good.

Be prepared to deal with IFRS EY is pleased to announce the 10th Edition of its IFRS Course to prepare you to deal with the complex requirements of IFRS EY IFRS Course Covering the syllabus of ACCA’s Diploma in IFRS.

I have cleared both. If you want to move in MNC, go for ACCA london but if you want to work in an indian industry then ICAI certificate is better as it is designed as per Ind AS prespective. Both certificates are good in terms of recognition. ACCA london exam in difficult as compare to ICAI Certificate exam but its result is liberal as compare to ICAI IFRS exam.

I am unable to open the website www.ifrsdemystified.com . There are some privacy issues. There is a dialouge that ur network is not private.

the website is under construction 

They have changed to Ind AS. Their website is www.indasdemystified.com 

Hello guys

For complete learning on Ind AS / IFRS, please visit www.indasdemystified.com. It is made by the same people (Amitabh Mukherjee Sir) who made IFRS Demystified.com  New updated books are there which u can download for FREE after registration. Just need to add contact details. Only the complex standards such as Ind AS 115 ( Revenue) Consolidation, Ind AS 116 (Leases), Financial Instruments are priced.

They are also coming up with recorded training videos on Ind AS/IFRS, so that should be good and informative.

Hello friends and professional colleagues

I am a CA since 2004 - worked in big 4 and mnc..would like to clear all your doubts about what to pursue

1. INDAS is copy paste of IFRS. So if you know INDAS - you know IFRS. There are very few differences called carve ins and carve outs
2. Big 4 Training - Both EY KPMg and GT they all provide diploma IFRS by ACCA. As mentioned by someone earlier, faculty is not good at all which is true. They are all done by their partners, senior professionals who has no experience of teaching. They just explain the slides with no practical element. Price is also too high - 30k + for just training.  Exam and registration fees is separate
3. Strict NO NO - Henry harvin, eduyush, zell, ramohan bhave - mumbai. Please dont even think about enrolling from them as you will waste both time and money
4. ICAI course - Its basic with less practical exposure. Most of them explain just the difference between AS and INDAS - you can easily find this list on google. Questions are objective based and not worth attending this course

All these reviews I have got by asking fellow CA, friends, people who are in different companies who have done these trainings so its their first hand experience

One good option i suggest is INDASedu.com - they have detailed books an videos. what i like it has many practical examples which makes it easier to understand and apply the standards in practice or job. They also have video lectures, courses, study materials etc - found it very useful and helpful

Strictly my views - To all my young CA friends - in my experience of 20 years - you must have strong knowledge of IND AS for career improvement.  Passing an exam for extra certification is not required if you have that level of expertise
