In the next two years your company will face one of the most important financial reporting challenges - the conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As an energy or utility company your transition has more challenging issues than basic IFRS convergence, making it more than just a technical accounting exercise.
With a looming 2011 deadline, you need to address your transition challenges in order to stay on track! This conference gives you practical solutions from organizations that have successfully tackled convergence and overcome the same difficulties that you're struggling with to date.
Attend INFONEX's IFRS Implementation for Energy and Utilities to move along your transition and prepare for your next step. You will learn about practical strategies to ease the implementation process, and specific examples you can use to benchmark your convergence.
IFRS utility and financial experts will thoroughly explain the main differences between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, and offer solutions and suggestions to address your specific concerns. In addition, you'll learn from experts the resources and training you will need to successfully undergo the convergence.
For almost two decades, INFONEX has provided professionals with the critical information they need to stay on top of the evolving financial and regulatory landscape.
