The seminar takes place in cooperation with the auditing company KPMG.

The following IFRS topics will be covered in the seminar: Leasing, Financial Instruments, Hedging/Derivatives, Revenue Recognition, Business Combinations, Deferred Taxes, Pension Provisions and Share-based Executive Compensation. Topics will be assigned following the introductory session. Students work on the topics in groups of 2-3 students.

A few weeks after the introductory event several seminar days take place at KPMG in Munich. On the seminar days students present the content they have worked on. In addition, KPMG experts provide further insights into the topics covered and the day-to-day work of an auditing firm. The seminar days have a workshop character. Active participation by the students is encouraged.

A seminar paper is to be submitted approximately a few weeks after the seminar days at KPMG. 

Dates and deadlines will be published in the corresponding Digicampus group.
