IFRS for SMEs Q&A 1-4 Investment funds with only a few participants

Description

The IFRS Foundation's SME Implementation Group, which assists the IASB in supporting the implementation of the IFRS for SMEs, published on 14 April 2011 the draft Q&A Investment funds with only a few participants.

The draft Q&A considers whether the criterion 'broad group of outsiders' means that investment funds or similar entities that restrict their ownership to only a few participants are not publicly accountable according to paragraph 1.3(b) of the IFRS for SMEs. Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the draft Q&A, the draft Q&A seems to specify that investment funds or similar entities that restrict their ownership to only a few participants are not publicly accountable under paragraph 1.3(b) of the IFRS for SMEs.

On 21 April 2011, EFRAG issued its draft comment letter in response to the draft Q&A, and on 15 June 2011 it submitted its comment letter to the SMEIG.
