IFRS Conference for Financial Statement Users

November 25, 2010
Metro Toronto Convention Centre
Toronto, ON

Program Outline:

This conference is dedicated specifically to financial statement users and the unique challenges that the adoption of IFRS presents for this group. Investors and other stakeholders need to be able to differentiate reported performance changes caused by the adoption of IFRS from those caused by business activities. This conference will focus on the understanding and interpretation of a set of financial statements prepared under IFRS. The conference will include technical sessions explaining the key areas of differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS as well as the implications of moving from more "rules based" to "principle based" accounting. The conference will also explore the need for effective communication among key stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition. This conference is being held in conjunction with the CICA/IASC Foundation Conference – IFRS in North America 2010, and the Financial Reporting and Accounting Conference.
