IFRS for SMEs

Just come back from PRC business trip & then attended an ACCA seminar about IFRS for SMEs. Unexpectedly the seminar is not bored! & I thought that the IFRS for SMEs is really a great tools for SMEs. I wonder when HKICPA will adopt that.

Changing accounting standards are always a disaster to small practitioners like me. We simply may not have enought resources to cope with the fast changing standards. One reason I like the IFRS for SMEs is that the speaker today claimed that they realized the resources issue & promised that there would only be an exposure draft once in THREE years! I think this is really a good policy.

  1. 我覺得HKICPA唔單只要adoptIRFS for SMEs,公會更應該投放多些資源去支援 local cpa firms.

  2. Thanks Bittermelon, 100% agree with you. Supoort to local CPA firms are always not enough. However, as an old saying, god help those who help themselves. We have to help ourselves!
