Implementation of IFRS for SMEs

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), known as NIIF in Spanish, are a set of international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) based in London. These standards aim to establish a common framework for accounting practices worldwide.

Recognizing the global integration, free trade agreements, and the need to actively participate in the global financial dynamics, the Colombian government decided to adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This adoption aims to standardize financial reporting globally, ensuring uniformity and transparency. This effort enhances confidence and efficiency for both domestic and foreign clients and investors.

To facilitate this adoption, the Colombian Congress enacted Law 1314 of 2009. This law supports the internationalization of economic relations and introduces global financial practices, thereby stimulating the country’s development through the use of high-quality accounting and information assurance standards. This initiative aims to instill confidence in the global market.

The Technical Council of Public Accounting (Consejo Técnico de la Contaduría Pública) was designated to oversee the convergence process of accounting, financial reporting, and information assurance standards with international standards in Colombia.

The strategic direction set by the Technical Council proposes that these standards should be applied differentially to three groups of financial statement preparers: Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3.

The Colombian government, through the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism and the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, has regulated Law 1314 of 2009. This includes Decree 2784 of 2012, which establishes the technical regulatory framework applicable to Group 1 entities; Decree 2706 of 2012, which applies to Group 3 entities; and Decree 3022 of December 2013, which applies to Group 2 entities (SMEs).

The adoption of IFRS provides an opportunity to enhance financial function within companies by promoting consistency in accounting policies, potentially resulting in greater transparency, increased comparability, and improved efficiency across sectors.

Our consultancy in the implementation of IFRS for SMEs includes the following stages:


Planning:

  • Technical accounting diagnosis of the company, identifying qualitative and quantitative impacts in the convergence process.
  • Identification of policies to be reviewed.


Design of Structure:

  • Design of the structure for the new financial reporting.
  • Definition of financial and accounting policies and procedures.
  • Chart of accounts based on IFRS.


Implementation:

  • Support throughout the implementation process.
  • Analysis of trial balance and opening balance sheet.
  • Training for the accounting department staff.


Post-Implementation:

  • Follow-up after implementation.
  • Audit of financial statements.

This comprehensive approach aims to assist SMEs in effectively transitioning to and complying with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), ensuring accurate and transparent financial reporting aligned with global standards.
