Time to stop falling back?
Article Abstract:
The UK urgently needs to adopt a more radical approach to simplification of standards for smaller companies, and a key challenge is to determine the relationship and boundaries between the simplified standard and the primary standards it is intended to simplify. A discussion on the experience in the UK in dealing with this 'fall-back' issue includes suggestions for possible improvements and considers developments in the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on this issue.
