IFRS vs. Canadian GAAP In-Depth two-day workshop
September 27–28: Calgary
October 13–14: Edmonton
*all workshops run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on both days
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is coming to Canada. By 2011, all publicly accountable
companies, public companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and crown corporations, will be required to
report their financial results using IFRS instead of Canadian GAAP. These requirements include reporting a
2010 balance sheet (the opening balance sheet for 2011) under IFRS. Other enterprises, such as private
enterprises or not-for-profit organizations, will not be required to use IFRS immediately but it is highly
likely that many of these organizations will opt to switch to IFRS as well.
This workshop is highly interactive. Participants will learn the international financial reporting standards
by working through exercises and examples which compare journal entries under Canadian GAAP to the journal
entries under IFRS. This workshop will also present financial information from public companies, showing the
impact on the financial statements of using different accounting standards.
Many IFRS workshops and conferences focus on high-level overviews. This workshop is different in that it is
in-depth and provides participants with the information they need to understand the new standards.
