Your company is facing important financial reporting challenges: half of the world's capital markets have adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and you must prepare for Canada's conversion. With the Accounting Standards Board preparing to ratify IFRS implementation in Canada, and a looming 2011 deadline, you need to start the planning and preparation process now!
You can't afford to underestimate the time needed to implement the complex work required for migration. Making the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS is not just a technical accounting exercise. It will present unique challenges affecting many areas beyond your finance and accounting functions, and will increase management's responsibility to improve corporate oversight and investor relations.
