XBRL Canada Tweetchat on XBRL and SEC Requirements for Canadian Companies

XBRL Canada will be holding a Tweetchat on Monday, October 16th at 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Eastern Time on the specifics of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) XBRL requirements and how they affect Canadian foreign private issuers.

Foreign Private Issuers using International Financial Reporting Standards will need to report using XBRL for the first time this year.

The session will be led by Eric Cohen, one of the founders of XBRL and a globally respected speaker on XBRL. The session will be completely interactive on twitter and join.me. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues about:

• How the SEC requirements on XBRL will affect Canadian foreign private issuers
• How Canadian foreign private issuers can prepare for meeting these requirements
• Important developments since the issuance of the rules

We will be using join.me and twitter (#xbrlcan) to conduct the presentation and discussion.
