ANSWER_ IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity in
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
vestments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
making purposes. Many private companies are held by a small group of sharehold
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
ers who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that info
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
rmation. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies outwei
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
ghs the benefit of the information provided to this closely held group of shareholde
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
rs. To address this, the Accounting

Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to me
0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r 0r
