The main objective of this course is to provide students with a broad knowledge of some issues under the new system of Accounting Standards (SNC), which inevitably will have implications in the context of financial reporting that companies are obliged to in Portugal, and also a perspective of useful information for management and other users of accounting and financial reporting.
The subjects and concepts developed set are part of the new accounting standards in Portugal (SNC) and derive directly from the International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards of the IASB (IAS / IFRS).
