ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT

Background
Investment accounting staff and Managers usually have some accounting training and some investment experience. Rarely are the two areas of accounting and investment formally combined. As a result staff have to pick up processes as they go along. Staff may also lack a coherent view of the whole area. This course gives a complete overview of the accounting procedures in all the major investment areas: Equities, Fixed Interest, Property, Futures and Options etc. This course is not suitable for those seeking an advanced discussion of the accounting issues.

Delegates
Investment accounting staff and their supervisors and managers with daily involvement in investment accounting who want a complete overview. Auditors, both internal and external may also be interested. Delegates will come from life assurance and insurance companies, fund managers, unit trusts, pension funds and other investing institutions.

While no specific knowledge is assumed, delegates must have at least 3 months' experience in an investment accounting area. This course is not suitable for those requiring a review of complex problems in the areas covered.
