Course description
Overview
This two-day course is intended to give a comprehensive overview of the accounting for regulated managed funds and their financial instruments. It will cover the statutory reporting of collective investment schemes as well as the pricing and valuation of securities held in these funds. Existing knowledge of basic accounting and double entry bookkeeping is not necessary as this will be covered in the course.
Who is this for?
