Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides principles and a framework to help preparers identify and organize appropriate information for their MD&A disclosures, emphasizing aspects of existing regulation and, in places, adding dimensions that go beyond existing regulation. The framework provides a structure for preparing a fact-based disclosure document that gives a reader the ability to look at the issuer “through the eyes of management”.

The CICA Standards and Guidance Collection is also available on DVD and as a web-based collection. Updated with each CICA Handbook release.
