Training
Accounting and assurance standards – What’s new for 2023-2024

Length: 3 h 30

New training for 2023-2024

Summary

Over the past year, CPA Canada has published fewer new publications. Despite the significant changes in recent years, it’s important to remain alert to the changes proposed by CPA Canada over the past year. Your responsibilities as a CPA are to know, understand, master and apply the new requirements for 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 criticizes practitioners for not being up-to-date on the latest changes. So let’s be proactive with this course.
