New, IFRS is now in Canada!

According to a recent study by FEI (Financial Executive International), many public companies in Canada will have to scramble to make the 2011 deadline for shifting to IFRS. The study found that 12% of companies surveyed had not started their initial diagnostic assessments, and about 80% had not yet reached the halfway mark in the conversion process.

Are you ready? We are now offering two IFRS seminars. Descriptions are presented below.

Our IFRS seminars are also offered as in-house training and may also be customized to specific industries (eg. banking, oil and gas, mining).

In addition, we are offering a new seminar for those working with nonpublic entities called New GAAP for Private Entities that will go live in Canada starting January 1, 2011.

The Canadian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AASB) is adopting International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as Canadian Auditing Standards (CASs) for the audits of financial statements. The CASs come into effect for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 14, 2010.

Our new seminar New Canadian Auditing Standards is for auditors who will be doing Canadian audits.
