IFRS 1: focus on new converting countries

Hosted by Ernst & Young's Global IFRS Services

Converting to IFRS has the potential to impact business operations throughout a company because it is much more than an accounting exercise. A company with a well-executed transition plan starts with a clear understanding of the transition rules that can enhance the effectiveness of its conversion by evaluating the potential implications well in advance.

Management must be prepared to assess the issues in their environment and take advantage of a number of exemptions while leveraging the experience gained from companies that have already converted to IFRS.

In this webcast, a panel of experienced professionals will discuss those accounting considerations, with particular emphasis on the policy choices allowed by IFRS 1 and the potential range of the change-management process.

This webcast is aimed at CFOs, finance directors, controllers and audit committee members seeking to gain an edge in the conversion process by understanding the potential impacts of voluntary exemptions before those accounting options take place.
