xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



l markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



investments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



making purposes. Many private companies are held by a small group of sharehol
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



ders who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that i
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



nformation. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies o
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



utweighs the benefit of the information provided to this closely held group of sha
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



reholders. To address this, the Accounting xx xx xx xx xx




Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to m
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



eet the needs of private
xx xx xx xx




enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



on the needs of the financial statement users.
