IFRS for the Canadian Oil and Gas Sector: Two-Day Workshop (January 2010)

Following on from similar successful IFRS events for the Canadian Oil & Gas sector held four times in 2009, this one-day course led by Deloitte experts has been specifically developed for Canadian oil and gas entities who may have need of last minute assistance and information with regards to their transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS. Over the 8 hours spent in intensive professional training, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the critical issues involved in IFRS implementation, and have the opportunity to interact with the Deloitte experts and with their peers. This will be achieved by undertaking mini case studies, by group discussions on real-world issues, and from the in-depth interactive sessions facilitated by Deloitte experts and designed to illustrate the most important conceptual and pragmatic issues.

Topics covered include: Recent IFRS developments | Regulatory developments | Applying deemed cost (oil and gas assets) exemption | Other areas of consideration when preparing IFRS compliant financial statements | Practical considerations to execute final push for compliance.
