• Compliance Week: Where GAAP and IFRS Differ: The Balance Sheet
  This archived webcast held in September 2008 hosted by Compliance Week features Wendy Hambleton, chair of BDO Seidman's IFRS Task Force, who will review a typical balance sheet and highlight areas where the presentation, format or accounting may be different between IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

For additional external programming options, BDO Seidman highly recommends the AICPA’s IFRS learning platform which provides a variety of training options and formats for enhancing education on IFRS topics.
