Keeping up with the latest doctrine is an important part of the job of every accounting expert. In the last years, the number of recommendations issued by the CNC is increasing and is tackling important topics on which the accounting law is silent.
- Which currency can be used as a presentation currency and how to convert at year-end?
- What is the impact in case of a change of accounting method?
These are 2 examples of questions that this module will address and answer using the CNC recommendations and our experts' market experience.
