Objectifs

Holding companies make up an important part of the Luxembourg economy. They often use complex financial instruments and are involved in operations for which the accounting treatment often requires a deep analysis. The diversity of options foreseen by the accounting law allows for flexibility for companies, but also raises numerous questions.

Mastering these options and the accounting law is a major challenge for accounting professionals, especially considering the various legislative changes constantly brought into force which add a further layer of complexity to the rules previously laid out.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • identify the regulatory provisions applicable to holding companies;
  • define the practical implications of the various options offered by the law;
  • identify and record financial instruments;
  • identify the financial information requirements;
  • understand the latest developments impacting holding companies.
