Investment academy:

First-time adoption of IFRS in pension funds

On 6 December 2013 we held another workshop on the first-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in pension funds.

The workshop was organised by Deloitte CIS in association with TKB BNP Paribas Investment Partners.

According to the plan set by the Russian Ministry of Finance for the period 2012-2015 for developing accounting and financial reporting in Russia, the scope of IFRS will widen. A draft law has been proposed that lists pension funds among the organisations that must prepare financial reports in accordance with IFRS.

At the workshop, Deloitte specialists discussed the main issues pension funds will face during this transformation.
