The IFRS for SMEs accounting standard: perceptions and expectations across Europe
Over the last number of years, Mazars has carried out a number of surveys on international accounting standards, focusing particularly on their adoption and on the manner in which they are perceived by the business community. Thus, in 2005, Mazars carried out a survey which demonstrated that listed European groups were in favour of the IFRS accounting framework.
Mazars, in partnership with the EFRAG, now wanted to focus its attention on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly as regards their attitude to the increased convergence of national accounting principles with international standards, the manner in which they would view the prospect of a common set of accounting standards in Europe and their degree of preparation for these possible developments. The questionnaire used in the survey was prepared on the basis of work carried out by Prof. Dr Peter Kajüter, Chair of International Accounting at the University of Münster (Germany). To this end, 1,500 SMEs were consulted in six European countries (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK). The responses enable the expectations, hopes and fears of unlisted enterprises to be identified, in a context of globalisation and of harmonisation of accounting standards. The responses also enable these enterprises ability to apply the provisions envisaged by the IASB in its draft international standard for unlisted enterprises to be evaluated. [ Download the survey ]
