DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book addresses the requirements of FRS 102 which is the new UK GAAP coming into force on 1 January 2015 and will be adopted by all companies not wanting to move to IFRS and who are too large to implement the FRS for SMEs. There are a number of factors accountants need to consider in adopting the new standard including the way in which a number of areas will be accounted for e.g. subsequent expenditure on fixed assets; leases, and employee benefits. Also the terminology of the new standard will be unfamiliar to many, and there will be some changes to the format of the financial statements. The book focusses on each area of the financial statement in turn and explains how they are treated by FRS 102 as opposed to the existing UK GAAP. There are chapters covering various areas such as leases, revenue, grants, share based payments and impairment of assets. The final chapter gives some guidance on the processes that need to be considered as businesses make the transition from the existing set of standards to FRS 102.
