reason for such a bifurcation as SMCs and non- SMCs
(a)To have a ‘simple and user friendly’ form of Schedule VI for Small and Medium Sized Companies (SMC). (b) The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss of SMC’s should not be burdened with too many disclosure requirements. (c) To set out minimum disclosure requirements which are considered essential to ensure true and fair presentation of the financial position and financial performance of the company and comparability both with the company’s previous periods and with other companies. (d) To attain compatibility and convergence with the International Accounting Standards and practices. (e) It is generally assumed that SMC’s (i) will not have particularly complex transactions; (ii) do not have public accountability; (iii) do not hold assets in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of outsiders; (iv) accountability is limited to owners and government authorities/agencies. (f) The ‘Users’ and ‘information needs’ of the Users of financial statements of SMCs are limited
