  • Changes to FRS 102 and emerging issues

    Overview

    The FRC has made some remarkable changes to FRS 102 to stay broadly in line with IFRS - despite advice to the contrary. They have also taken the opportunity to increase the level of disclosures required by small companies following the UKs departure from the EU.

    Key Features

    • Changes to FRS 102 including the new treatment of leases
    • Changes to size thresholds

  • Common blunders under FRS 102

    Overview

    The FRC has published its first ever formal review of the accounts of private companies – including those following FRS 102. The results of the review show that there is much room for improvement. There are many continuing misapplications of the requirements of FRS 102 and this course will look at some of these – including a number of understandable investment property blunders and the bizarre rules concerning the calculation of goodwill on a business combination.
