The IFRS for SMEs is a self-contained, globally
recognised, Standard, first issued in July 2009.
Compared with full IFRS Standards and many
sets of national generally accepted accounting
principles, the IFRS for SMEs is much easier and
shorter. In 2015, the International Accounting
Standards Board completed a comprehensive
review of the IFRS for SMEs, and from this
review issued limited amendments to the 2009
Standard that are effective from 1 January 2017.

6. Worldwide adoption
悴悋 悋惠悽悋悵
The IFRS for SMEs is available for any
jurisdiction to adopt, whether or not it has adopted
full IFRS Standards. Each jurisdiction must
determine which entities are permitted or required
to use the Standard. The Boards only restriction
is that entities that have public accountability
should not use it.

The IFRS for SMEs was issued in response to
strong international demand, from both developed
and emerging economies, for a rigorous and
common set of accounting standards for smaller
companies. The IFRS for SMEs can play an
essential role in helping SMEs gain access to
capital. This is because it can improve the quality
of reporting in comparison with many existing
national accounting requirements. At the same
time, it is easier to apply than full IFRS Standards.

9. Size is no barrier
愕惠 悋惺 悋惡惺悋惆
Any company of any size is eligible to use the
IFRS for SMEs, provided it does not have public
accountability. An entity has public accountability,
and therefore should use full IFRS Standards, if
its securities are publicly traded, or it holds assets
in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of
outsiders as a primary businessThe local
authorities in a jurisdiction can add a barrier if it
wishes to do so.

11. The IFRS for SMEs is tailored for SMEs by
focussing on the needs of users of SME financial
statements for information about cash flows,
liquidity and solvency. It also takes into account
the costs to, and the capabilities of, SMEs to
prepare financial information.

12. Easier to apply
悋悴惘悋 愕悋惆擯
Compared with full IFRS Standards and many
national requirements, the IFRS for SMEs is less
complex in a number of ways.
Topics that are not relevant to SMEs have been
omitted, for example earnings per share, interim
financial reporting and segment reporting.

14. When the IFRS for SMEs was issued, the Board
said it would undertake a comprehensive review
of the Standard after two years of use by SMEs.
This review was completed in 2015. Future
amendments to the IFRS for SMEs are not
expected to be more frequent than once every
three years, to provide SMEs with a stable
platform.

15. Initial comprehensive review
悋 悴悋惺 惡悋慍擯惘
In 2015, the Board issued limited amendments to
the IFRS for SMEs following an initial
comprehensive review. The aim of the review was
to consider implementation experience and assess
whether there was a need to make any
amendments to the Standard.

improvements could be made. The most
significant changes were:
Permitting SMEs to revalue classes of
property, plant and equipment.
Aligning the main recognition and
measurement requirements for deferred
income tax with full IFRS Standards.

18. The IFRS Foundation has a project to develop
profiles on the use of full IFRS Standards and the
IFRS for SMEs in individual jurisdictions. To
date, 140 profiles have been posted. 78 of the 140
profiled jurisdictions require or permit the IFRS
for SMEs, and a further 11 jurisdictions are
studying whether to use it.

21. The IFRS for SMEs brought a vast new
constituency to the Board: small companies and
small audit firms that had not worked with full
IFRS Standards. To assist in implementation, the
IFRS Foundation and the Board took a number of
steps.
