PSAF – May 2017 – L2 – Q3b – General purpose financial reporting framework

This question identifies characteristics of Government Business Enterprises (GBEs) as defined by IPSAS 1 for determining appropriate financial reporting standards.

Public sector entities are required to present financial reports in compliance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). However, Government Business Enterprises (GBEs) are to present the financial reports using IFRS due to their peculiar characteristics that separate them from other public sector entities.

In determining whether an entity is a GBE for financial report purposes, one must examine their nature and characteristic rather than the legal form. In the entity you work for, there is controversy among top management about whether to use IPSAS or IFRS.

Required: Identify FOUR characteristics of GBEs in accordance with IPSAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. (4 marks)
