Impact of IFRS on the Media Industry
Canadian public companies are required to adopt IFRS in 2011.
Be prepared for the effort required to make this transition.
The Canadian Accounting standards Board recently confirmed the requirement for Canadian public companies to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
This publication highlights some of the top accounting issues likely to arise when media companies adopt IFRS, including:
- Programming assets
- Business combinations
- Consolidation and equity method investments
- Share-based payments
- Property, plant, and equipment
- Provisions
- Impairment of assets.
