Workshop on ‘Balancing Sustainability and Profitability


Workshop on ‘Balancing Sustainability and Profitability: New Opportunities for a New Era’ on 

April 18, 2013

The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) and the Center for Sustainable Business Practices, Monte Ahuja College of Business, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH, USA is organizing a workshop 'Balancing Sustainability and Profitability: New Opportunities for a New Era' on April 18, 2013.
This workshop is targeted at business leaders who are eager to initiate and nurture sustainability related best practices in their organizations. In addition, students, faculty, and public policy makers interested in the broader impact of sustainability on markets and society are encouraged to attend.
Can a company grow its business without growing its environmental footprint?  Increasingly, companies recognize that they cannot choose between sales and sustainability but have to do both. Corporate sustainability has found its way into the C-suite and is emerging as a fundamental tenet for everyday business in modern corporations. However, gaps remain in understanding exactly what sustainability is, how best to balance profitability and sustainability goals, and how to implement sustainability change throughout the organization.  The proposed workshop is meant to synthesize the opportunities, challenges and trade-offs involved in the design, evolution and institutionalization of corporate sustainability initiatives both in developed and in growing economies. 
Distinguished speakers list is being finalized and includes global sustainability corporate leaders as well as eminent academicians from India and US who share a deep passion for sustainability.  The workshop schedule and final list of speakers will be announced here shortly.
Registration is compulsory.

Advanced Certificate Program on IFRS: Implementation and Compliance - KPMG in India

Advanced Certificate Program on IFRS: Implementation and Compliance - KPMG in India

Over 100 Countries have formally accepted IFRS to bring out standardization and greater comparability in presentation of financial statements. Starting April 1, 2011, as per ICAI concept paper, every listed company in India may be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It’s a very short time when it comes to a major overhaul of the accounting process. Not to forget that the investing community needs to be familiarized with the changes in the balance sheet. Little wonder then, that some companies are trying to get a head start and will for the first time this year, publish their results not just in Indian GAAP but also in IFRS.
The convergence process not only requires training people but also requires accounting software and systems to be changed to make them compatible with the new standard.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The program focuses on training finance professionals in issues that they would be facing during IFRS implementation in their organizations. The program provides an in-depth analysis of the accounting and disclosure requirements under IFRS. The program presents the information needed to navigate complex issues surrounding the recognition and measurement of items under IFRS.

The program also keeps the Indian financial reporting requirements (Indian GAAP) in perspective and explains the differences between Indian GAAP and IFRS. This helps the participants to appreciate the major areas of difference and thus provides necessary information and know-how to restate Indian Financial Statements as per IFRS. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
CFO & Finance Directors, Analysts, Accountants, Investment Bankers, Corporate Bankers, Strategic Planners, Auditors, Private Equity & Merger & Acquisition specialists, Tax Directors, Consultants, Practicing CA, CS, CWA, and professionals from Indian companies with a global presence
