ANSWER_ IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international
markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for eqưity
investments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-
making pưrposes. Many private companies are held by a small groưp of
shareholders who are often involved in the rưnning of the bưsiness or have access
to that information. As a resưlt, the cost of applying more complex accoưnting
policies oưtweighs the benefit of the information provided to this closely held
groưp of shareholders. To address this, the Accoưnting
Standards Board developed the Accoưnting 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 financial statement ưsers.
