MAJOR EVENT COMING ON SEPTEMBER 24TH - XBRL, IFRS AND THE NEW REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

An important event will take place on September 24th at the Metro Toronto Convention Center to provide information for companies who must file in XBRL with the SEC and those who may be interested in filing with the voluntary programs in the US and Canada. There will be two events on the same day.

In the morning, XBRL Canada will host a seminar introducing the filing of XBRL statements with regulatory agencies and including a panel of executives from companies who have already filed with the SEC Voluntary program. It will be a great chance to hear of their experiences. There will also be a session on the relationship of the filing requirements with IFRS implementation.

In the afternoon, there will be an event hosted by the OSC and the SEC, which will provide information about the new SEC requirements and the regulatory situation in Canada.

Further details will be available soon.

In the meantime, mark your calendars for September 24th! Welcome to XBRL Canada
