The Change to IFRS

The transition to IFRS is nearly complete. At the end of this year, companies will be required to file under IFRS which means a big change in the accounting world. For many of us, that means that we need to learn a whole new accounting methodology. At PwC, our learning and development programs make it easy to learn all we need to know.

Patrick - Ville de Québec / Quebec City

Bonjour. Je m'appel Patrick. Je suis chef de mission chez PricewaterhouseCoopers au bureau de Québec. J'ai effectué mon premier stage chez PwC à l'hiver 2009, soit l'année ou j'ai écris et réussi l'EFU. Il me fait plaisir de remplacer William comme blogeur pour le bureau de Québec pour l'année 2010/2011.

Baking cookies for charity

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend a day volunteering with Common Ground, a non-profit organization. What did I do? Baked cookies! I will admit that it was my first time baking cookies so I was a little nervous on how they would turn out.

Coaching EFU

Salut,

 

Fatigué? Épuisé? En retard dans chacun de tes cours? Ne t’inquiète pas, la fin du processus approche plus vite que tu le crois. Je suis présentement ma formation annuelle de mise à niveau afin de pouvoir accomplir avec succès les nouvelles responsabilités qui me seront confiées cette année. Le fait d’être en formation m’a rappelé mon coaching d’EFU que j’ai reçu de PwC.

 

The move to IFRS…where do we start?

More and more, we are learning about the impact of IFRS to the accounting profession. The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) has decided that Canada will adopt IFRS by 2011. Currently, approximately 100 countries have already made the transition to IFRS. As such, PwC has taken appropriate measures not only to help clients with the conversion to IFRS, but also to provide sufficient training to all partners and staff in the Audit & Assurance Group to ensure everyone is up to date with the technical requirements in order to contribute to their personal development at the firm.
