Findings
The research focused on evaluating the need for IFRS for SMEs through the
development of high quality accounting standards which would seek to address the demand
for better quality information that would be of value to all the users of the accounting
information.
Specifically, this study achieved the following objectives among others;
Established the objective of preparing financial information by SMEs and for which
category of users.
Found out much about IFRS for SMEs, how far they are implemented by SMEs and the
efforts made by various bodies to ensure implementation.
Established the challenges facing SMEs in the adaptation and implementation of IFRS
and the extent to which SMEs apply IFRS for SMEs.
Revealed the need for IFRS tailored specifically for SMEs and the potential benefits
which can accrue to SMEs on the application of IFRS will be investigated.
Determined the compelling force behind the preparation of the financial statements and
the points of reference while preparing this information will also be established.
Ascertained the businesses eligible to use IFRS for SMEs.
It was also an opportunity to create awareness among SMEs on the existence of IFRS
for SMEs.
In his paper on how new financial reporting rules could restrict SMEs from paying
dividends, of 22nd July, 2010, Patrick Stafford reports that ‘new problem is that small
businesses need to adhere to new accounting standards, and pass a test which states their
assets must be greater than their liabilities. SMEs are facing additional costs to ensure their
collection of assets and liabilities is prepared correctly under these new accounting standards.
This results to two major problems. The first is that businesses aren't prepared for these
methods because they've never had to adhere to them before. The second is that many
businesses will have to change their constitutions’.
