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 financial statement users.
