n n n n n n n n n n n n
ancial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (

ASPE). Describe why the CPA Canada Handbook provides the option for private ent

erprises?

ANSWER_ IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international
n n n n n n n n n n n
markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity inve
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
stments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-
n n n n n n n n n n
nmaking purposes. Many private companies are held by a small group of shareholder
n n n n n n n n n n n n
s who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that informa
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
tion. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies outweighs th
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
e benefit of the information provided to this closely held group of shareholders. To a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
ddress this, the Accounting n n n
Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to meet
n n n n n n n n n n
the needs of private
n n n n
enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending on
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
the needs of the financial statement users.
