Can a private enterprise in Canada use the IFRSs for Small and Medium sized Enterprises (IFRSs for SMEs)?
Paragraph I.5 in the Introduction to Part I of the Handbook addresses this issue. Although a private enterprise can use IFRSs, the IFRSs for SMEs is not included in Part I of the Handbook. Accordingly an enterprise using the IFRSs for SMEs cannot state that its financial statements comply with Canadian GAAP.
