About this Training Course  This 3 full-day training course will introduce participants to the Microsoft Power BI® software solution for extracting, manipulating, visualising and analysing data. This is a very practical, hands-on course that takes participants through a series of exercises which help users understand the Power BI® environment, how to use the key areas of functionality, and how to apply the tools it contains to design and produce analyses of their own data. The first two days focus on learning the key concepts and practising these using clean, simple datasets. The third day provides participants with the opportunity to apply what they've learned to their own data. This makes the course far more relevant and meaningful for them, it allows our facilitator to help them structure their data models, queries and DAX formulas correctly, and it allows our facilitator to help them solve any additional problems that may arise but which were not covered as part of the standard the course. In addition, at the end of the day, each participant walks away with something of real, practical use for their job role. Many previous participants have remarked that they obtained the most value from the course during the third day because otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do what they need to do. This is an introductory course and although it does not assume any prior experience with Power BI®, participants will gain much more from the course if they have at least used Power BI® a little prior to attending. Participants who have taught themselves Power BI® will also benefit from attending as the course will fill-in a number of gaps in their knowledge and will also extend what they know. A general understanding of databases, Excel formulas, and Excel Pivot Tables is useful though not essential. Comprehensive course notes, exercises and completed solutions are included. Microsoft® PowerBI® is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Financial reporting best practices involve adherence to accounting principles, regulatory requirements, and industry standards. CFOs should stay informed about evolving accounting standards and regulatory changes. Regularly review updates from regulatory bodies such as the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to ensure compliance. Engage with industry associations and professional networks to stay abreast of best practices and emerging trends in financial reporting. By actively staying informed, CFOs can adapt their processes and policies to meet changing requirements. Regulatory compliance is a key aspect of financial reporting. How do CFOs navigate the landscape of regulatory requirements and ensure compliance within their organisations? Navigating the regulatory landscape requires a proactive and diligent approach. CFOs must develop a deep understanding of the relevant regulations, such as the Companies Act, UK GAAP, or IFRS, depending on the reporting framework. They collaborate with legal teams and auditors to interpret and apply the regulations correctly. Implementing strong internal controls, conducting regular compliance assessments, and engaging in external audits are essential steps to ensure compliance and mitigate potential risks. Compliance is an ongoing process. CFOs should establish a culture of compliance throughout the organization, emphasizing the importance of ethical practices, accuracy, and transparency in financial reporting. Training programs, internal communication, and regular compliance reviews help foster a compliance-conscious culture. By creating a framework that promotes adherence to regulations, CFOs establish a solid foundation for accurate and reliable financial reporting. https://www.fdcapital.co.uk/podcast/the-intricacies-of-financial-reporting-and-compliance-in-the-uk/ Tags Online Events Things To Do Online Online Seminars Online Business Seminars #financial #compliance #reporting #uk #intricacies

In January 2024 alone, reports were published about the SRA taking enforcement action against 3 firms and 4 individuals for failure to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The fines issued for these non-compliances total over £570,000 plus costs. The absence of staff training, or requirement to complete additional training, was noted in a number of these cases. Action has not only been taken against solicitors, but also other individuals who are not regulated by the SRA, whose breaches were so serious that the SRA felt compelled to take action.  As all SRA enforcement action, from rebukes to fines, is published by the SRA, the potential financial and reputational impact upon firms may be felt by all staff, regardless of whether they had any direct involvement with the non-compliance.
