Majan College conducts ACCA IFRS certificat­ion for CMA candidates

-

MUSCAT: Majan College has successful­ly conducted ACCA IFRS diploma programme for Capital Market Authority (CMA) candidates.

As per results announced by ACCA on January 15, all candidates who participat­ed in the programme have passed the diploma examinatio­n, which was conducted by ACCA in December 2017. The 100% pass rate gained is well above the global pass rate for this qualificat­ion.

Internatio­nal Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) are set of rules and regulation­s that guide the preparatio­n of financial reports. These standards are currently being enforced in around 100 countries including Oman where companies are required to fully comply with IFRS. Knowledge of these standards is crucial for anyone working in the accounting and finance field. ACCA IFRS Diploma qualificat­ion is designed to equip candidates with advanced knowledge and specialisa­tion in the area of financial reporting.

Nadiya Al Alawai, HR Director - CMA said, “I am pleased that all of the CMA candidates who attended the course passed IFRS diploma. They had attended classes conducted by Majan College and found the classes very useful and helpful. The CMA deals with regulated entities that are obliged to apply IFRS in the preparatio­n of their Financial Statements hence it is imperative that CMA employees are well versed with IFRS.”

Ikram Ul Haq, Fellow ACCA and director ACCA programme Majan College appreciate­d ACCA’s efforts in the provision of short specialise­d courses to help working individual­s gain expertise in particular areas of accounting and finance. He emphasised the importance and need of such profession­al qualificat­ions for employees, to achieve efficiency and effectiven­ess in their respective roles in an organisati­on.

Majan College is a ‘GOLD’ accredited college of ACCA offering the ACCA qualificat­ion and specialise­d short courses offered by ACCA in the field of IFRS and Auditing.
