IFRS and Canadian GAAP will converge by 2011. The transition is not new in the accounting world, but the Canadian experience will be fundamentally different. Understanding how and why the shift in Canadian GAAP to IFRS will occur is essential to a successful migration. Planning for the transition should be started now. As with any project, proper planning is vital. The change to IFRS will impact almost every department within an organization, including finance, accounting, investor relations, training and development, and technology.

CCH Canadian presents the first in a series of online seminars on IFRS for Canada. This 90-minute webinar is presented by Peter D. Chant, FCA, PhD, Partner at Deloitte Canada and author of iGAAP 2008: IFRS for Canada.
