2008 was another active year in terms of the number of significant new accounting standards and regulatory requirements which were announced and/or became effective. With the multitude of ever increasing requirements, it may sometimes be difficult for management and Directors to analyze all of the standards and guidance issued and to develop an action plan to ensure that they fulfil all of their responsibilities.

To this end, Deloitte has prepared comprehensive assessment tools to help management and Directors determine whether or not their organizations’ financial statements and other financial filings meet all of the continuous disclosure obligations. Correspondingly, using these tools to analyze their financial filings may assist users in performing their due diligence responsibilities.
