In this paper we analyze the answers to the "Questionnaire on the public consultation of the IFRS for SMEs", promoted by the European Commission.

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the answers to the "Questionnaire on the public consultation of the IFRS for SMEs", promoted by the European Commission. Our aim is to evaluate the homogeneity among respondents, according to the different perspectives of analysis between both users, preparers and also in European Countries. Results show a substantial diversity among respondents. In particular, preparers demonstrate a strong opposition to the IFRS for SMEs, while users are more favorable. Concerning Country classification, German-speaking Countries and Latin Countries show much less appreciation for that standard with respect to Anglo. -. Nordic Countries. Relevant consequences for European public policy issues and for accounting studies on differential reporting arise from this result, concerning respectively the role of European accounting system and the acceptance of "user primacy" principle. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
