Patricia’s presentation covers IFRS Readiness Assessment and the Role of Project Management. An overview on assessing where your company fits into the conversion timeline and also understanding what organizations need to consider to be fully prepared for the future will be discussed.

 

“Efficient planning is the key for successful project completion and avoiding costly re-work due to unanticipated surprises” said, Patricia Ritchie.

 

Co-presenters at the conference include the Chairman of FASB, President and CEO of the AICPA, Deputy Chief Accountant of the U.S. SEC among others. “Relevante is pleased to be co- presenting with the regulators and industry association representatives to increase the awareness of IFRS amongst the accounting community” said William Brassington, CEO.

 

IFRS has increasingly become the accounting framework of choice around the world. IFRS is impacting U.S. companies today as their non-U.S. subsidiaries are increasingly beginning to report under IFRS and their foreign customers and suppliers are increasingly considering IFRS implications as they enter into transactions with U.S. companies. IFRS is also relevant to international merger and acquisition transactions as often one or more of the companies entering into such transactions report under IFRS. IFRS is currently used by upwards of 12,000 companies in more than 100 countries.
