Bookkeeping with QuickBooks ® is a 500-page resource book covering basic bookkeeping,
set-up for A/R, A/P and payroll for QuickBooks 2007 and QuickBooks Multicurrency
Edition. The text includes step-by-step instructions for implementing the
reports and features that every user needs for
QuickBooks Pro or Premier.
Each chapter of the book builds on the information and exercises presented
in previous chapters, with over 900 screenshots so you can see what your own QuickBooks screen
should look like. The text has been extensively used in the classroom.
Bookkeeping with QuickBooks ® is an instructional book that can be used for self-study, in the classroom,
and as a constant desk-side companion. There is no better resource for both new and experienced QuickBooks users. It is easy to use and gives enough background and detail to provide a complete understanding of the most common procedures in QuickBooks.
The book is logical and sequential. Chapters are compiled in the order that most users need to discover the
features of the software: basic setup, entering transactions, using payroll, creating reports, and trouble-shooting.
With Bookkeeping with QuickBooks ®, you will be able to set up and maintain a set of computer-generated accounting ledgers for a small business; will understand basic bookkeeping; and
know why accurate bookkeeping is
important. With this book, it is easy to do.
The book is ideal for small business owners, bookkeepers and prospective
bookkeepers. It will enable you to save time, to save money, to save taxes, to
save penalties, to avoid a government audit, and to pass a government audit if
one is imposed.
The content is backed by the 10 years of direct experience that Arlene Nora Arlow
has accumulated by using, providing consulting and instructing on the software. She is recognized among her peers as one of the most proficient QuickBooks users
and consultants in Canada. Her background providing bookkeeping services to
numerous companies, in a wide variety of industries, coupled with her attention
to detail and never say- die approach to QuickBooks has resulted in an
outstanding resource book.

HOW HAS GAAP CHANGED FOR SECURITIES COMPANIES?
Effective March 8, 2005, a cross-border public company incorporated under the
Canada Business Corporations Act having securities registered with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission can prepare its financial statements using US GAAP if the statements are mailed to shareholders on or after March 8, 2005:

HOW IS GAAP CHANGING IN THE FUTURE?
It is predicted that Canada will move away from its own
GAAP to instead encompass International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or
US GAAP. In 1998, The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants penned a
"Final report: CICA Taskforce On Standard Setting". That paper indicated:
We believe, in the long term, internationalization of
standard setting for private sector accounting and auditing is inevitable. The
increasing globalization of business activities and the related need for
standards accepted in the world's capital markets will demand it.
http://www.cica.ca/multimedia/Download_Library/About_the_Profession/e_tfoss.pdf
In 1999, Alan J. Richardson and Ian R. Hutchison
drafted "The Case for International Accounting Standards in Canada" on behalf of
the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada.

Research' and click on 'Reports':

Currently, the Accounting Standards Board of Canada (AcSB)
is pursuing international standardization of financial reporting with a timeline
of 2010. The focus is two-fold:
1. convergence with US and international accounting
agencies: the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and other standard-setting bodies
2. harmonization with US GAAP to eliminate unnecessary
differences
