Examine the bases of accounting available to small and medium-sized privately-owned businesses, including the AICPA’s Financial Reporting Framework for Small and Medium-Sized Entities (FRF for SMEs). You’ll review the cash and tax bases of accounting and other special-purpose frameworks. The features, benefits and risks of each framework will be covered, and guidance for professional judgments.
