Applying IFRS - Online guidance and resource materials


The Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada) maintain an IFRS web section to provide guidance and support for understanding and applying International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Whether applying an existing standard, searching for information on new standards, preparing financial statements or communicating with clients or lenders about IFRS, check out these free online resources. The Reporting Alerts series summarizes new and revised standards.

In addition, the Viewpoint series discusses circumstances unique to the mining and the oil and gas sectors. CPA Canada and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) created the Mining Industry Task Force to share views on IFRS application issues of relevance to junior mining companies. CPA Canada, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) and the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada (EPAC) created the Oil and Gas Industry Task Force to share views on IFRS application issues of relevance to junior oil and gas companies.
