Course Description

This course reviews the financial statement disclosure and presentation requirements under ASPE. This course recognizes that compliance with the ASPE presentation and disclosure requirements requires the use of professional judgement. The solution to meeting the presentation and disclosure requirements is to not simply have a library of “boiler plate” notes to the financial statements but to develop a process that efficiently uses those examples. The goal is to create financial statements that are in compliance with APE but also useful and understandable to the users of the financial statements. This course provides many examples that can aid in the efficiency of the preparation of financial statements but also recognizes that each business and the resulting financial statements are different.

This course will review common presentation and disclosure requirements with a focus on those areas where there is judgment, complexity, or prior indications of difficulty. The course will address the issues by starting with a general review of the requirements of ASPE and address the standards that may address many elements, such as the disclosure related to financial instruments and related parties, before looking at specific financial statement elements. The course will address all topics using examples, illustrations and other resources. The examples will provide a valuable resource to help with the preparation and/or review of financial statements prepared in accordance with ASPE. 

This course will provide an opportunity to practice the preparation and review of notes to the financial statements using activities.
