• Tier 2 – all other UK entities, except those that elect to apply the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), would apply the IFRS for SMEs.
• Tier 3 – small entities could choose to continue to apply the FRSSE if they do not exceed two or more of the following criteria: turnover £6,500,000; balance sheet total £3,260,000; and average number of employees 50.

Revenue recognition for technology companies

In June 2010, the IASB and the FASB jointly published an Exposure Draft (ED) on Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle proposed in the ED would require an entity to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Deloitte UK has published Revenue recognition for technology companies, giving examples of how the proposed approach in the Exposure Draft will be applied in scenarios common to technology companies who report under both IFRS and US GAAP.
