IASeminars works closely with several major Canadian accounting institutes in ensuring that IFRS content is a relevant and valuable part of ongoing professional education programs.

CGA Canada, CMA Canada, and ICA of Alberta are some of the IASeminars Professional Affiliation Partners in Canada, and our courses meet the requirements for continuing professional development of those institutes and others - see our Accreditation page.

This important course includes a review of IFRS 1 (First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards) and also of major IFRS / Canadian GAAP differences, as well as an illustrative case study. Also see details of our Course 1551 - Canadian IFRS Transition Hot Topics.
