Length: 2 h 30

New training for 2022-2023

Summary

Over the past year, CPA Canada has issued fewer new publications, but many of the changes announced in recent years are coming into force. Your responsibilities as a CPA are to know, understand, master, and apply the new requirements in both assurance and accounting standards.

Objectives for the day:

  • To identify and understand the changes made to the standards
  • To understand practical applications of these new requirements in the documentation of assurance files
  • To determine the changes required in the financial statements and the impact of applying them in disclosures

Too often, professional inspection criticize practitioners for not being up-to-date on the latest changes. So let’s be proactive with this course.
