, SOLUTIONS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. There are times when external users may want financial reports that do not follow GAAP.
For example, users may need financial statements using non-GAAP accounting policies
required for legislative or regulatory purposes, or for contract compliance. A prospective
lender may want to receive a balance sheet with assets reported at fair value rather than
historical cost. Accountants have the skills and abilities to provide financial information in a
variety of formats or using a variety of accounting policies. When the financial statements
use non-GAAP accounting policies, the accounting policies must be disclosed in the notes
to the financial statements. The accountant’s report would make reference to these
accounting policies.
2. The three main areas where judgment needs to be applied are as follows:
- Choosing accounting policies that are appropriate for the company’s situation
- Making estimates to accurately reflect the company’s financial position and results of
operations
- Deciding what to disclose and how to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements.
3. The GAAP-based financial statements are prepared primarily for the benefit of external
users. The financial statements provide a summary of the financial position and results of
operations for the company. Management has access to the detailed information available
within the company. Therefore, the formal financial statements should give priority to the
needs of the external users.
4. The main reason the Accounting Standards Board decided to create a separate section of
the CPA Canada Handbook for private enterprises was to address the cost/benefit
discrepancy with respect to smaller private companies’ ability to comply with GAAP. GAAP
has become increasingly complex and for smaller private enterprises this often means that
the cost of complying with such requirements outweighs the benefit received from
compliance. In 2002, the AcSB adopted differential reporting, which allowed private
enterprises choices with the respect to certain complex accounting standards (e.g. the
option to use the cost method for investments that would otherwise require the equity
method). In 2009, the AcSB decided to create a self-contained set of standards for private
enterprises. These standards were effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January
1, 2011.
5. There are a few reasons why a private company would want to comply with IFRS even
though it is not required to do so. It may have plans to become publicly listed at some point
