IFAC supports SMPs through initiatives in several key areas.
Standard Setting
Regular and timely input to the international standard-setting process helps ensure the stability, relevance, and proportionality of international standards to SMEs and SMPs.
With input from the SMP Committee, IFAC submits comment letters at all key stages of the development process, from project proposal to draft exposure draft (ED) and, often, post exposure to the IAASB, IESBA, and other relevant bodies, such as the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which develops the IFRS for SMEs. A representative of the SMP Committee observes all IAASB, IESBA, IAASB Consultative Advisory Group (CAG), and IESBA CAG meetings.
