All of us at the Institute wish to extend you our best wishes for the holiday season. It has been a pleasure serving you this year, and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year! New Seminar - Transitioning to GAAP for Private Enterprises The Accounting Standards Board expects to release the new accounting standards for private enterprises in mid-December. While these new standards are effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, early adoption is permitted, so they may be used for 2009 calendar year-end reporting. We are adding a new full-day course to the Fall/Winter 2009/10 PD Program on Transitioning to GAAP for Private Enterprises. This course provides a review of new GAAP for private enterprises, released in December 2009, comparing it with the current GAAP standards contained in the CICA Handbook. It will provide detailed guidance on the new standards and help participants understand the impact that these standards will have on the accounting model and financial statements of these organizations This course will benefit all practitioners and preparers of Canadian GAAP financial statements for private enterprises.
