	The SMEIG  is responsible for assisting the IASB  on matters relating to the implementation of the IFRS  for SMEs, which is a self-contained standard designed to meet the needs and capabilities of small and medium-sized entities. The SMEIG  is currently reviewing comments received on three other draft Q&As, for which the comment period ended in June 2011.
