Emile Woolf background in IFRS and CPD
• Emile Woolf International (EWI) has extensive experience in helping professional practice firms and large
corporates in training their staff in IFRS and CPD. We have trained over 15,000 people in CPD skills.
• We started our IFRS work in 1998 when our team wrote a series of books entitled ‘International
Accounting Standards – Overview and Application’ for the IASC. We also worked closely with Arthur
Andersen to undertake a worldwide roll-out of IAS/IFRS training. Our team has been running CPD
programmes such as Leadership and Selling Skills since 1988.

major oil and energy company in USA, Canada and Middle East.

training to listed companies in sectors as diverse as energy, telecoms, retail, transport, hotels,
pharmaceuticals, insurance, investment trusts, hedge funds and more.

• From 2003 until 2005 we developed the IFRS courses and trained all the professional staff, including
partners, for Ernst and Young (EY) in both the UK and Ireland (some 3,500 people attended a total of 5
days training each).
• Since then we have continued to train EY staff in the UK, EU and Middle East in IFRS and IFRS transition
matters.
