This in‑depth PSAS bundle equips participants with a detailed and practical understanding of the most significant Public Sector Accounting Standards updates and the specific technical areas that commonly generate complexity in public sector reporting. Learners will explore the 2025 revisions and emerging changes within the PSAS framework, gaining clarity on new requirements, expected implementation impacts, and areas drawing attention from auditors, governing bodies, and stakeholders. The “Review of the Standards” component reinforces foundational technical capability by examining judgment‑heavy areas, challenging transactions, presentation considerations, and areas where PSAS diverges meaningfully from ASPE or IFRS. By combining the update with deeper topical analysis, participants leave prepared to interpret changes, improve reporting quality, and provide well‑supported guidance across public sector environments.

Courses Include:

• PSAS: Review of the Standards
  While some professionals encounter certain standards on a daily basis, other practitioners require a review of standards that they fail to encounter regularly in their work. Accordingly, this course focuses on general PSAS concepts, the structure of the PSAS handbook, and differences between PSAS and those of ASPE or IFRS.
   
• PSAS: Update 2025
  This course provides a review of sections in the PSA Handbook that have recently been implemented or will soon come into effect. Furthermore, this course examines pending sections along with ongoing key projects and activities of the PSA Board.
