2) In Canada, a private company has the choice to report under International Financial Reporting

Standards (IFRS) or Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). Describe why the CPA Canada

Handbook provides the option for private enterprises?

Answer: IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international markets. One of the

limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity investments that are meant to provide

information to shareholders for decision-making purposes. Many private companies are held by a small

group of shareholders who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that

information. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies outweighs the benefit of

the information provided to this closely held group of shareholders. To address this, the Accounting

Standards Board developed the Accounting 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

• Part II — Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE) — applicable to private entities.

• Part III — Accounting Standards for Not-for-Profit Organizations — applicable to not-for-profit
