IFRS FOR BOOKKEEPERS AND MID SIZED BUSINESSES (webinar)
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. Private companies are not immediately required to convert to IFRS but have the option of doing so.
How does IFRS affect bookkeepers? How does it affect small and mid-sized companies?
Bookkeepers must keep abreast of current accounting developments so they can have informed conversations with their clients and accountants as they prepare for IFRS conversions. Understanding the implications of IFRS is paramount to maintaining a professional image and providing strong financial support to customers. They also need to understand how the migration to IFRS will affect bookkeeping.
Small and mid-sized business owners need to understand the basics of IFRS to determine whether or not they need to convert their accounting practices. Their accountants and bookkeepers will provide strong guidance but they need to have an understanding of the general concepts behind IFRS, the benefits, and the disadvantages in order to make informed decisions.
