report the legal form, rather than the economic substance, of these transactions.

statement of financial statement date, the company only discloses this information in the
notes to the financial statements.
10. IFRS for SMEs is more complex than regular IFRS.

operating decisions.

initiated a project that offers a non-binding framework and limited guidance on its
application, which could be adapted to the legal and economic circumstances of individual
jurisdictions.

in the statement of financial position, including the separation of assets and liabilities into

omission, that results in materially misleading financial statements.
