Abstract

Floriculture du Suroît inc. est une PME dans le domaine de l'horticulture. Elle cultive et vend des géraniums et, par l'entremise de sa filiale, Les Roses de Caroline, elle vient de démarrer la culture des roses. Floriculture vient d'obtenir une subvention gouvernementale. Pour respecter les conditions imposées par l'organisme subventionnaire, la société devra produire pour la première fois des états financiers préparés selon les PCGR et certifiés par un auditeur externe. Les deux propriétaires‐dirigeants auront donc à choisir entre deux référentiels comptables, soit les normes internationales d'information financière (IFRS) et les normes canadiennes pour les entreprises à capital fermé (NCECF). Non seulement de nombreuses différences existent entre ces deux référentiels, en particulier les normes IFRS propres à l'agriculture et aux immeubles de placement, mais les NCECF offrent également des choix à analyser avant de prendre une décision. Les propriétaires étant des néophytes en matière comptable, ils ont besoin de conseils avisés. Floriculture du Suroît inc. is a SME in the horticulture field. It cultivates and sells geraniums, but a new subsidiary, Les Roses de Caroline, recently start the culture of roses. Floriculture has just obtained a governmental subsidy and, for the first time, the company will have to produce audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Thus, the two owners will have to choose between two accounting frameworks, that is, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). Many differences exist between these two frameworks. More specifically, IFRS provide specific standards related to agricultural activity and investment properties, while ASPE do not. In addition, ASPE permit many choices between accounting treatments, which should be carefully analyzed. The owners are neophytes in accounting matter. Thus, they need help for accounting issues.
