About the Gulf Finance Forum 2010

The world has been surrounded by economic crisis for the past few years. Businesses have faced unprecedented uncertainty and change. Global financial brands have disappeared or been bailed out, international manufacturers have filed for bankruptcy, housing markets have collapsed, consumer spending has dropped, and industry restructuring has resulted in high levels of unemployment. As with all market corrections, there is an end.

Now, with the crisis increasingly behind us, it is time to look to the landscape that lies beyond - especially as it relates to finance and accounting.

The Gulf Finance Forum invites you to hear, question and debate with speakers from across the world on the post-crisis changes and challenges for finance and accounting, and a new outlook for the future.

Cost cutting versus revenue enhancement, ethical dilemmas, IFRS and fair value challenges, accounting for environmental costs, and IFRS for SMEs are just some of the topics for you to enjoy.

Speakers have been drawn from local, regional and overseas locations to ensure you hear the latest and best information about finance and accounting. Our presenters come from respected organisations such as the Big Four, world ranked universities, industry and the major professional associations.
