Guide to IFRS in Canada

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) has issued a Guide to IFRS in Canada to facilitate the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS for Publicly Accountable Enterprises. The guide includes the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) comparison of Canadian GAAP to IFRS, highlighting key differences and noting AcSB work in process that may affect the standard in the future. The comparison is organized in the order of the current Canadian standards. It includes a table of IFRS in numerical order cross-referenced to the CICA Handbook standard and a table of IFRS standards with no current Canadian GAAP equivalent.
