International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 
For most Canadian publicly accountable enterprises, January 1, 2010 began the transition year in their move to this new accounting language. In this critical year, what key milestones can help you to ensure you will be well prepared for filing your first interim IFRS financial statements for Q1 2011?
