IFRS #1: First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
This IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) will provide you with some easy-to-follow guidelines that will help you in complying with IFRS Standard # 1.
Description
International Financial Reporting Standards are changing how companies present their financial statements. Effective January 1, 2014, accountants working for “publicly accountable enterprises” will be expected to continue to prepare US GAAP statements, but in addition will have to prepare IFRS financial statements using IFRS Standard # 1. IFRS Standard # 1 was specifically issued to help companies with the transition from GAAP. In addition, a reconciling financial statement which bridges the gap between the two will be required. In effect, IFRS requires that the accountant be able to understand and explain the differences between IFRS and US GAAP. This hands-on workshop will provide you with some easy-to-follow guidelines that will help you in complying with IFRS Standard # 1.
