Drafting Financial Statements: A Practical Approach

---

Overview  

Generative AI can already draft accounting policies, disclosure notes and management commentary in minutes. The professional skill lies in directing it, securing it and reviewing its output, so that what you sign off is accurate, compliant and confidential. That is exactly what this webinar teaches.  

The timing is deliberate. The Companies Amendment Act 16 of 2024 now requires audited companies to disclose each director's and prescribed officer's remuneration by name, further IFRS changes take effect in 2026, and the IFRS for SMEs Third Edition has been issued. Manual, template-driven drafting was already slow. Under the new requirements, it is also risky.  

Join Nestene Botha CA(SA) for Drafting Financial Statements: A Practical Approach. You will leave with ready-to-use, structured AI prompt templates for policies, notes and commentary, plus a clear compliance roadmap for the new disclosure requirements.
