IFRS Transition Management -- What you need to know before you start

Whether it's 2011 or 20XX, the more you do now, the easier your transition will be.

Canada will adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the next two years, with the US possibly adopting IFRS shortly thereafter; time is of the essence, but where do you start? Who should be involved? How long will it take? What tools can help streamline the transition?

In this webcast, Virgil Colby, Program Manager of the Celestica IFRS Transition Project will help answer these key questions and provide valuable insight for finance professionals impacted by or involved in an IFRS transition project. In addition, Tony Wright, Vice President, Product Management for Longview Solutions, will demonstrate how corporate performance management (CPM) software can dramatically reduce the time, effort and cost associated with IFRS transitioning and reporting.

Topics to be covered include:

• How to prepare for an IFRS transition
