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.

The Speaker
Dr. Peter D. Chant, FCA, is a partner in the National Assurance and Advisory group at Deloitte & Touche LLP. He is a former member and Chair of the Canadian Accounting Standards Board and was co-Chair of the CICA/FASB Task Force that developed the current Canadian and FASB standard on segmented information. He was also a member of the FASB's Task Force on Business Combinations that developed the FASB's current standard on that topic, and a member of the G4+1 Group of Standard Setters, which included the Chairs of the IASB, FASB and the Canadian Accounting Standards Board.

Peter has published a textbook on advanced accounting in Canada, and was co-author of a research paper on accounting for joint ventures that was published by the G4+1. He is currently Chair of the Task Force on Non-GAAP Performance Measures of the Canadian Performance Reporting Board of the CICA. He has a Ph.D. in Accounting and Information Systems from Northwestern University.

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. 

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.

Canadian Transfer Pricing describes and clarifies Canada's current transfer pricing rules. It sets out the methods used by the CRA and described in the OECD Guidelines for determination of an arm's length price for goods and services.



Due to the large dollar amounts involved in transfer pricing disputes, the importance of transfer pricing to the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") continues to evolve into a prominent component of tax collection and enforcement in Canada. Tax practitioners and company executives need to be aware of the procedures and documentation requirements in order to remain compliant with the transfer pricing rules and to be better prepared in the face of an audit by the CRA. This is also true for companies intending to establish an APA or resolve disputes with the revenue authorities in Canada and overseas with respect to transfer pricing transactions.

Authored by Jules Lewy, BCL, LLB and members of the tax group of one of Canada’s largest and most respected law firms, Dentons, Canadian Transfer Pricing provides a comprehensive overview of the Canadian transfer pricing regime.  This essential edition includes discussion on the OECD’s involvement in the area of transfer pricing tax policy as well as a brief overview of the U.S. transfer pricing legislation.
