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.

IFRS for Canada: Presentation of Financial Statements

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.

This webinar provides a practical analysis of IAS 1 and IFRs financial statemen

Webinar information current as of November 12, 2008

CCH IFRS Webinar Series 2008 - Seminar 6

Changes in accounting principles and application rules as a result of the adoption of IFRS into Canadian GAAP can be expected to impact a company’s key performance indicators, such as operating income and other financial ratios. Significant areas of common application where differences in underlying accounting principles can be found include revenue recognition criteria, inventory and operating cost calculations, segment reporting, and recognition of foreign exchange gains and losses. A thorough and early understanding of the significant impacts that these and other changes in accounting policies can have on a company’s bottom line and key performance ratios will be essential for managing stakeholder relations during and after the transition to IFRS.

Canadian Taxation of Non-Residents, 4th Edition

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.

The Almanac provides financial information that is calculated and derived from the latest available IRS data on nearly 5 million U.S. and international companies.

The Almanac provides ratios for industry-wide results for inventory turnover, current assets to working capital, quick ratio, asset turnover, and others. It also provides other critical financial factors in percentages, including debt ratio, return on assets, and return on equity, and profit margin. 

The Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios comes complete with a CD that contains a special Excel Spreadsheet Template that can be used to input data on a given company to see how a company compares with the data provided in the Almanac.

    Tort Law in Canada

    Published: August 2010


    Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, Tort Law in Canada provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in Canada. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale.

    Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts.

    This book then proceeds to cover specific cases of liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies, abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery, assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private insurance and social security are all closely considered.

    Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers in Canada. Academics and researchers will also welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to harmonization of the rules on tort.

    Summary and Analysis of Fiscal Year 2015 U.S. Budget Proposal

    Complimentary: www.cch.ca/2015USBudget

    On March 4, 2014, President Obama released a $3.9 trillion proposed fiscal year (FY) 2015 federal budget, with a mix of expanded child, family and education tax credits as well as some curbed tax preferences for higher income individuals and businesses. Funding for the proposed tax breaks would come from, among other proposals, taxing carried interest as ordinary income, extending payroll taxes to cover certain distributions from professional service companies, and restricting the availability of like-kind exchange treatment for real estate transactions. In conjunction with the budget, the Treasury Department also released its Green Book, providing explanations of the proposed budget.

    CCH's Tax Briefing: Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Proposals provides you with a summary of the budget proposal.

    Intellectual Property Law in Canada

    Published: January 2013


    Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, Intellectual Property Law in Canada provides a survey and analysis of the rules concerning intellectual property rights in Canada. It covers every type of intellectual property right in depth – copyright and neighbouring rights, patents, utility models, trademarks, trade names, industrial designs, plant variety protection, chip protection, trade secrets, and confidential information. Particular attention is paid throughout to recent developments and trends.

    The analysis approaches each right in terms of its sources in law and in legislation, and proceeds to such legal issues as subject matter of protection, conditions of protection, ownership, transfer of rights, licences, scope of exclusive rights, limitations, exemptions, duration of protection, infringement, available remedies, and overlapping with other intellectual property rights.

    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. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Canada will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative intellectual property law.
