Having spent over 30 years delivering training across sectors, I have learned that when it comes to technical content, especially accounting and reporting, clarity, practicality and relevance matter far more than slick slides. That is why I am impressed by how Square Mile Global Consulting approach things.
What they do and how
Square Mile Global Consulting provide training across three core streams: IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting Standards), and ESG and sustainability-reporting frameworks. Their training format is flexible, with both virtual and in-person delivery, and they stress a cost-effective structure for in-house courses to maximise learning and development opportunities.
Their teaching is built around real-world application. They use practical exercises and realistic case studies to help delegates apply the standards in a context that reflects their actual work, not just theoretical compliance.
They serve a broad range of sectors including banks, public sector organisations, insurance, professional services, corporates, manufacturing and energy.
What clients consistently say in their feedback
Looking at their client feedback, the same themes come up again and again. People consistently comment on the clarity of explanation, even for highly technical topics. There is strong emphasis on how practical and directly applicable the training is to real reporting and day-to-day finance work. Participants regularly note the depth of subject-matter knowledge of the trainer, combined with an ability to make complex standards understandable. Another repeated theme is how interactive and engaging the sessions are, which is not always easy to achieve with technical accounting content. Overall, the feedback paints a picture of training that is thorough, relevant, well-structured and immediately useful in the workplace.
Why this matters from my perspective
In finance-heavy industries, or organisations with global operations, standards like IFRS and IPSAS are not optional. They shape investor trust, audit outcomes, regulatory compliance, transparency and credibility. I have seen too many organisations treat reporting training as a formality, where people leave knowing the theory but remain unsure how to apply it when preparing real accounts or dealing with complex sector-specific issues.
Square Mile Global Consulting address that gap directly. Their focus on technical depth, real-life case studies and flexible delivery means they are not just teaching the rules. They are helping teams build genuine confidence and competence. That reduces risk, improves consistency and makes financial reporting far more robust.
Why are they different?
Their lead instructor and director, Saket Modi, holds CFA credentials and has deep expertise across IFRS, IPSAS, financial instruments, insurance contract accounting and ESG reporting. That breadth matters. It ensures the training is grounded in practical global experience rather than academic interpretation alone.
They have delivered training for clients across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and North America. That international exposure is a real advantage for organisations operating across borders and they have shown an appreciation of national differences in terms of culture and approach.
Their training is genuinely customised. They do not assume one size fits all. They work with each client to define learning objectives and then shape the content to fit the organisation’s sector, scale and regulatory environment.
The breadth of their IFRS, IPSAS and ESG coverage is also highly relevant in today’s environment where sustainability reporting, climate-related disclosures and public-sector reforms are driving much higher technical expectations.
My verdict
If you want more than tick-box compliance training and you want your finance and reporting teams to genuinely understand and apply IFRS, IPSAS and ESG standards, Square Mile Global Consulting is a serious and credible partner.
Good technical training underpins trust, transparency and strong governance. SMGC deliver exactly that with depth, flexibility and global experience.
