Third edition of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard
IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standards are applied for general purpose financial statements of small companies, primarily; small and medium-sized entities (SMEs), private entities and non-publicly accountable entities, which is required or permitted in 86 jurisdictions across the globe. This Standard is based on full IFRS with modifications to reflect the needs of users of SMEs? financial statements and cost-benefit considerations. It focuses on the information needs of lenders, creditors and other users of SME financial statements who are interested primarily in information about cash flows, liquidity and solvency.

In 2009, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the first edition of International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standards). The IASB maintains the SMEs Standards through periodic review and proposes amendments by publishing an omnibus exposure draft. In developing these exposure drafts, it considers new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards as well as issues brought to its attention regarding the application of the Standard.

In 2015, the IASB completed its first comprehensive review of the Standard. It issued 2015 Amendments to the IFRS for SMEs and a second edition of the Standard, incorporating the 2015 amendments, which became effective in 2017.

In 2019, the IASB conducted its second comprehensive review of the SMEs Standard, in line with the objective of commencing a comprehensive review approximately two years after the effective date of the amendments to the SMEs Standard resulting from a previous comprehensive review. As part of this second comprehensive review, the IASB published Request for Information Comprehensive Review of the IFRS for SMEs Standard as a first step in its second comprehensive review and consulted with the SME Implementation Group (SMEIG), an advisory body to the IASB. The objective of the Request for Information was to seek views on whether and, if so, how aligning the SMEs Standard with new and amended full IFRS Accounting Standards in the scope of the review to better serve users of financial statements prepared applying the SMEs Standard without causing undue cost or effort for SMEs.
