Au Canada, on distinguait jusqu'en 1996 le «timing difference», défini dans les normes canadiennes et alors appelé en français «écart temporaire» et le «temporary difference», défini dans les normes des États-Unis et alors appelé en français «écart temporel». Lorsque la notion de «temporary difference» a été adoptée au Canada et a évincé celle de «timing difference», on a conservé en français l'expression «écart temporaire» pour désigner le «temporary difference». On peut également distinguer l'ancienne notion de la nouvelle en opposant les expressions «écart temporaire-résultats» et «écart temporaire-bilan». 1, record 5, French, - %C3%A9cart%20temporaire

La technique de réversion de l'immeuble est divisée en deux phases et fait appel à au moins deux méthodes de capitalisation... La marche à suivre est la suivante: -mesurer la revenu net annuel de l'immeuble -choisir la méthode de capitalisation appropriée -escompter le revenu prévu pour en connaître la valeur actuelle -escompter la valeur de réversion de l'immeuble à la valeur présente -additionner les valeurs actuelles du revenu et de l'immeuble pour obtenir une indication de la valeur marchande. [Cette] technique (...) peut servir lorsque la bâtiment est détérioré et que la valeur marchande du terrain ne peut être obtenue par la parité. (...) La technique de réversion est parfois improprement appelée "technique résiduaire à la propriété". 1, record 10, French, - technique%20de%20r%C3%A9version%20de%20l%27immeuble
