![Page 10: IFRS – Get Ready Overview of IFRS Resources Available for Academics Gordon Beal, CA Principal, Transition to International Standards, Canadian Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e1b5503460f94b08cc6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Normal circumstances: circumstances where:
The entity, situation, event or transaction is of a size or degree of complexity likely to be encountered by an entry-level CA, and
• The entity is a business in the private sector, formed as a proprietorship, as a partnership, as a private corporation; or
• The entity is a small public corporation, or a division of a large public corporation; or
• The entity is in the public sector or is a not-for-profit organization or a division of either; or
• The entity is an individual

Impact on Regional Delivery Systems
• CA development is about learning and development through our regional education programs
– UFE is the ultimate ‘summative evaluation’ for certification– The UFE will NOT test everything
• CA development through regional programs includes ‘formative’ assessment as CA students progress
• CASB, ASCA, OSA and PEP all have signed off – will do their part
– To supplement the preparedness of students graduating in any one year and to prepare them for the CA profession

Impact on Curriculum
• A Changing Landscape of Canadian Standards in a changing world- IFRS is becoming THE international standard
- Private enterprise GAAP is going to continue
• Opportunity to refresh course content - Teach fundamental concepts
- Introduce international perspectives into curricula
• Broaden students minds beyond standards compliance - Teaching how to make judgements
• Preparing students for a new future…today!
