International Financial Reporting Standards for SMEs Creates Need for Accountants

The new framework of the International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises establishes a much needed set of accounting standards for businesses that previously did not have the type of transparency that larger corporations are required to make publically available. At the roundtable event on July 6, 2010, the benefits this has had on major accounting firms was discussed in earnest.

Probably the most significant impact this has on SMEs is the ability to provide lenders and investors with reliable and accurate records of their business’ finances. As lenders and investors have standardized proof of a growing SME’s risk and ability to repay, the economy will benefit as a whole. After the recent blows to the economy in Dubai, this is great news for everyone.
