Welcome to XBRL Canada

The first monthly XBRL Canada Town Hall will be held on Tuesday, March 25th 2008 at 3:00 - 4:00PM Eastern.

The agenda for the meeting will consist of three items:

1. Update on XBRL Canada Activities - Wasim Thaha, Chair, XBRL Canada
2. XBRL and IFRS - The Canadian Strategy - Jerry Trites, Project Director
3. The new XBRL Canada IFRS Implementation Tool - Eric Cohen, CPA, PWC US

XBRL Canada has been working hard to find ways in which XBRL can help in IFRS convergence. The session will introduce an exciting and innovative new tool that is under development and soon to be released which enables cross referencing of IFRS, Canadian GAAP and the GIFI using XBRL GL. The tool is expected to be useful to companies implementing IFRS and those filing with securities commissions.

The meeting will take place using Microsoft LiveMeeting and telephone conferencing. Login and call in details will be provided as we draw closer to the date. See the XBRL Canada Calendar of Events at: Welcome to XBRL Canada
