ANSWER_ IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in internationa
m m m m m m m m m m
l markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
minvestments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-
m m m m m m m m m m
mmaking purposes. Many private companies are held by a small group of sharehol
m m m m m m m m m m m m
ders who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that i
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
nformation. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies ou
m m m m m m m m m m m m
tweighs the benefit of the information provided to this closely held group of share
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
holders. To address this, the Accounting
m m m m m
Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to m
m m m m m m m m m m
eet the needs of private
m m m m
enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending

on the needs of the financial statement users.
