ana IFRS for Canada: Presentation of Financial Statements By www.cch.ca Published On :: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 15:45:09 GMT Webinar information current as of October 8, 2008 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. As well, IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, has recently undergone significant amendments, including a new requirement for a statement of comprehensive income and terminology changes incorporated throughout IFRSs, among other important changes.

ana Canadian Taxation of Non-Residents, 4th Edition By www.cch.ca Published On :: Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:52:55 GMT The fourth edition of this highly successful book explores the "inbound" international tax issues of non-residents of Canada who derive income from Canadian sources. Tax issues are analyzed in terms of the application of the relevant sections of the Income Tax Act and provincial statutes, the application of the Canada–U.S. Income Tax Convention, and the application of Canada's other tax treaties. This edition has been updated with new case law and recent changes to legislation and CRA pronouncements for practitioners who deal with the subject matter and need to stay current on the issues to properly advise their clients. Other significant updates include: Changes to the definition of "taxable Canadian property" and the resulting implications for non-residents who invest in Canadian property or realize capital gains from Canadian sources Expanded discussion on the changes that resulted from the Fifth Protocol to Canada-U.S. Treaty and CRA interpretations and statements since the last edition, including, particularly, expanded discussion of implications for hybrid entities such as LLCs and ULCs Discussions and commentary on the above developments would be of interest to Canadian accounting and legal practitioners alike who act for individual or corporate non-resident clients. Corporations with U.S. employees working on short-term assignments in Canada would also be interested in this area of taxation. Also, non-resident professional advisors, particularly in the U.S., who need a general reference guide to assess the Canadian tax implications of certain past or proposed transactions, would find the content useful.

This book also provides a clear overview of intellectual property legislation and policy, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based.
