CCH IFRS Webinar Series 2008 – Seminar 1
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.

Agenda

• The history and philosophy of IFRS vs. Canadian and U.S. GAAP
• Some of the major differences between IFRS and Canadian GAAP
• The role of IFRS 1
• What you need to do to get organized for this convergence

Format
Participate right from your desk or office. All you need is an Internet connection and a sound card.

CCH IFRS Webinar Series 2008 - Seminar 5

Significant differences can be expected in general financial statement presentation, as a result of the adoption of IFRS into Canadian GAAP. Such differences will include changes in both the presentation of a company’s balance sheet and income statement, such as differences in the nature of components presented, current and non-current classifications, presentation of line items, and required disclosures. Such changes will impact a company’s traditional key performance measures and ratios, and provide investors with new types of information. Typically, annual financial statements prepared under IFRS will be considerably longer than those prepared under previous rules, entailing considerably more disclosures. A thorough and early understanding of the impacts adoption of IFRS will have on financial statement presentation will be essential for managing stakeholder relations during and after the transition to IFRS.
