FRS 102 amendments explained: practical issues

Anne Cowley ACA reviews the latest amendments to FRS 102 resulting from the FRC’s triennial review highlighting changes to directors’ loans, recognition of intangible assets and investment property, as well as the definition of financial institutions, which on balance simplify aspects of UK GAAP

Substantial content has been added to both FRS 102 Section 1A and FRS 105 Micro-entities Regime to enable small companies in Ireland to apply the small company and micro-entity regimes in conjunction with the Companies (Accounting) Act 2017, which came into force on 17 May 2017.
