2) In Canada, a private company has the choice to report under International Financial Reporting
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Standards (IFRS) or Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). Describe why the CPA Canada
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Handbook provides the option for private enterprises?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Answer: IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international markets. One of the
f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity investments that are meant to provide
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
information to shareholders for decision-making purposes. Many private companies are held by a small
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
group of shareholders who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
information. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies outweighs the benefit of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
the information provided to this closely held group of shareholders. To address this, the Accounting
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to meet the needs of private
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending on the needs of the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
financial statement users.

2) What is the definition of control provided in IFRS 10?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Answer: IFRS 10 states that an investee has control only when all of the following three criteria are
f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
met: The power over the investee, exposure to the variable returns of the investee, and the ability to use
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
that power to affect the earnings of the investee. First, the power to direct the relevant activities over the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
investee typically arises from a right such as voting rights, the right to choose key personnel or
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
enforcement/veto rights. Power over the relevant activities would include the ability to direct the selling
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
or buying of goods and services, direct research and development, budgeting, and the management of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
financial assets. Second, variable returns are defined as not fixed and with the potential to vary as a result
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
of the performance of the investee. Finally, there must be a link between the power to control the relevant
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
activities and the return on the investment.

3) List the four different classifications of investments and provide a definition for each type of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
investment classification.
ff ff
Answer: The four classifications along with a definition are given below:
f f f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
1. Passive Investment is an equity investment that does not meet the definition of an associate
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
(significant influence under ASPE), joint arrangement, or subsidiary. These investments tend to be more
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
short term and temporary in nature. These can be classified as fair value through other comprehensive
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
income, fair value through profit and loss, and in some rare cases, cost.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
2. Associate (Significant Influence under ASPE) is an equity investment where the investor has the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ability to influence the activities of the investee but does not have control.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
3. Joint Arrangement is a contractual agreement where the parties have joint control over the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
investment. These can be classified as either joint ventures or joint operations.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
4. Subsidiary is an equity investment where the investor has the ability to control the activities of the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
investee.

ff f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

ff ff
4) What is a financial asset, and would a non-strategic equity investment be included in that definition?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Answer: A financial asset, as defined in IAS 32, is any of the following:
ff f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
• Cash
• An equity investment in another company
ff ff ff ff ff
• A contractual right to receive cash or another asset from another company
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
• A contractual right to exchange another financial instrument under potentially favourable conditions
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Investments in equities are listed in the definition of a financial asset; therefore, a non-strategic equity
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
investment would meet the definition.
