EY Azerbaijan held a training session for the Ministry of Taxes of the Azerbaijan Republic entitled International Financial Accounting Basics: Accounting for Revenue and Fixed Assets at the Education Center of the Ministry of Taxes in Shamakhy on 14 November 2017.
The training was led by EY Assurance Manager Kamran Safaraliyev and EY Assurance Senior Emil Mahmudzade.
The presentations and discussions covered IFRS aspects such as revenue recognition, recognition of fixed assets, as well as differences between IFRS and local tax legislation. Specific attention was paid to the application of a new revenue standard (IFRS 15) and possible tax implications. Further, training participants discussed key issues arising during financial and tax audits, as well as possible solutions to these problems.
Kamran shared: “The participants were extremely interested in new IFRS provisions, and their tax implications in particular, and proactively participated in discussions. I am very happy with the training, and I hope that this cooperation between EY Azerbaijan and the Ministry will be long-lasting and productive. As a company, we highly value this cooperation.”
EY was delighted to see all the participants at the session and thanks each of them for their enthusiastic participation!
