Shipping Accounting Seminar

Shipping plays a central part in the global economy, and its well-documented history gives maritime economists a unique perspective on the way the industry’s economic mechanisms have evolved. The seminar aims to introduce the shipping industry as well as to present and examine the accounting and finance function of a shipowning/shipmanagement Company. It will equip participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards and their implication on the shipping company’s financial position and performance.
