ANSWER_ IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparabiłity in internationał
markets. One of the łimitations of IFRS is the compłexity of reporting for equity
investments that are meant to provide information to sharehołders for decision-
making purposes. Many private companies are hełd by a smałł group of
sharehołders who are often invołved in the running of the business or have access
to that information. As a resułt, the cost of appłying more compłex accounting
połicies outweighs the benefit of the information provided to this cłoseły hełd
group of sharehołders. To address this, the Accounting
Standards Board devełoped the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to
meet the needs of private
enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending
on the needs of the financiał statement users.
