I am reading the "Conceptual Framework'' chapter in the BPP workbook.
It reads:
''It is not clear that a conceptual framework makes the task of preparing and then implementing standards any easier than without a framework.''
This is mentioned as a disadvantage.
How is this a disadvantage? Should not they construct accounting standards on a rules-based approach and simply find out?

Disadvantages of a conceptual framework
2y ago#1Hi,
We are using a principles based approach to IFRS and so by having something that does not give specific rules can cause difference on areas of judgement, so potentially a disadvantage but not a significant one.
I'd be more aware that IFRS are based on principles (guidance) as opposed to rules as is the case with US GAAP.
Thanks
Thank you!!
