Learning Objectives
• State the basic purpose for the issuance of the PFRS for
SMEs.
• Define an SME.
• Provide the distinct differences between the full PFRSs and
the PFRS for SMEs.
• Entities that have total assets or total liabilities below ₱3M (so
called ‘micro entities’) may use “another acceptable basis of
accounting.” However, a micro entity may nevertheless elect to
apply the PFRS for SME or even the full PFRSs if it chooses to.
• On initial adoption of the PFRS for SMEs, an entity shall apply the
size criteria using the entity’s audited financial statements for the
immediately preceding financial reporting period.
• If in a current year, an SME that uses the PFRS for SMEs ceases to
qualify as an SME because it either exceeds the ceiling of the size
criteria or falls below the floor of the size criteria, such entity
may transition to the full PFRSs (exceeds) or another acceptable
accounting bases (falls below) in the next accounting period.
• To warrant a change in a financial reporting framework, the increase
or decrease in the size criteria must be judged to be “significant and
continuing.” As a general rule, a change of 20% or more of total
assets or total liabilities would be considered significant.
• Most of the concepts included in the PFRS for SMEs are similar
with the concepts provided in the full PFRSs. This is because the
PFRS for SMEs is just a simplification of the full PFRSs which
was intended to ease the difficulty of SMEs in applying and
implementing a generally accepted financial reporting framework.
