The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued an IFRS for small and medium-sized entities (“SMEs”) in July 2009. SMEs are entities that do not have public accountability and publish general purpose financial statements for external users. In Singapore, the SFRS for Small Entities are available for eligible entities to apply for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. With at least 80% of companies registered with ACRA qualify for the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS) for Small Entities, it is imperative that companies plan in advance and make careful considerations if the SFRS for Small Entities is appropriate to be adopted for their companies.

This seminar will discuss the nuts and bolts of what this Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS) is all about and whether you company is eligible or right for you to consider adopting for your business.

Programme Outline
  • Highlight key requirements of the SFRS for SE
  • Compare the major differences between the full SFRS and SFRS for SE standards
  • Discuss practical considerations that companies should consider when adopting the new standard
