Accounting for lease and revenue recognition rule overhaul

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) plans to update FRS 102 with changes to the accounting rules on revenue recognition and leases to take account of IFRS 15 and 16

FRED 82 proposes a number of changes resulting from the second periodic review of FRS 102 and other financial reporting standards.

The proposals include a new model of revenue recognition in FRS 102 and FRS 105 with a five-step model based on IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; changes to lease accounting in FRS 102 including a new Section 20, based on the IFRS 16 on-balance sheet model; and various other incremental improvements and clarifications including amendments to fair value reporting.
