In considering the answers, you may find yourself drawn equally to opposing choices. In such cases, we suggest you try to think back to how you were before the age of 12 or even younger, if you can recall. The rationale for this suggestion is the fact that by the time we are 3 years old, the core of our cognitive organization is well-fixed. . . although the brain continues to allow some plasticity until puberty.

After the onset of puberty, our adult learning begins to overlay our core personality - which is when the blending of nature and nurture becomes more evident. For some people, this "learning" serves to strengthen what is already there, but with others it produces multiple faces to personality. Discovering or rediscovering this innate core of yourself is part of the journey of using personality type to enrich your life.

An Overview of IFRS for Small and Medium-Sized Entities

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 11:21:53 +0800

On 9 July 2009, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) announced the issue of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) for Small and Medium-Sized Entities (SMEs). The standard is the result of a 5-year development and consultation process worldwide. The IASB estimates that about 95% of companies in the world are likely to fall into the category of the SMEs.

The standard simplifies and/or eliminates certain measurement, recognition and disclosure requirements as prescribed in the existing set of IFRS. This seminar provides an overview of the major simplifications in the IFRS for SME. Pending the adoption of the standard in Singapore, the seminar will benefit auditors and accountants of SMEs as well as most CPAs and other persons who are interested to keep abreast of current developments that have an impact on future practice.
