IFRS is Coming! Is Your Computer System Ready? For Intuit MRI, Yardi Systems Users ...

July 2, 2009

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is being adopted in Canada starting in 2011. Companies will need to provide comparable financial statements for the prior year, 2010, which means we need to start planning now.

TORONTO, ON, July 02, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- IFRS Requires Many Changes to Software including:

Changes to accounting processes, but more importantly, changes to the set up of computer systems;

Changes to the corporate chart of accounts, the financial statement formats and many of the other accounting reports and supporting schedules that are produced regularly;

Set-up of alternate ledgers for every property, additional monthly journal entries and additional databases of supporting information;

Additional reconciliations between the current financial statements and the new IFRS statements to provide answers to auditors, analysts and management;

Customization to the software applications or at the very least, new financial reports to support the new standards;

Systems that provide answers quickly and allow us to drill down into the systems to see the specific entries and related documentation that were made to meet the IFRS standards.
