The lessons for year-end reporting

A webcast for companies currently using IFRS

The December 2008 reporting cycle has been one of the most challenging in several years - as a result of the deterioration in the economy and the level of uncertainty about the future. As we move into the June reporting cycle - both interim and year-end in some countries - and as the rate of changes in the economy is slowing down, we can reflect on what lessons have been learned. .

In our November 2008 webcast entitled "Preparing for the year-end in the current environment," we highlighted the critical areas in financial reporting that were likely to arise during the 2008 year-end reporting season. In this upcoming webcast, our panel of IFRS professionals will share observations on the challenges companies faced in the 2008 year-end reporting season, including the trends reflected in annual reports that have been released. We will look, in particular, at key areas such as impairment, financial instruments, restructuring and disclosure requirements. In particular, we will also look at some of the new challenges that companies are likely to face as they implement some new standards in this environment.

This webcast is aimed at CFOs and controllers that take a proactive approach to addressing the potential issues and pitfalls in the upcoming reporting season.
