UK GAAP application for reporting periods ending 30 June 2021
12 Jul, 2021
The table below reflects new and revised UK GAAP financial reporting requirements that need to be considered for financial reporting periods ending on 30 June 2021.
The FRC has made several changes to FRS 102 as part of its first triennial review of the Standard to deal with issues highlighted in its implementation. The amendments were published in December 2017. More recently amendments have been made in relation to phase 2 of the interest rate benchmark reform and also in relation to accounting for temporary rent concessions for operating leases occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic extending beyond 30 June 2021 (for which an amendment was also made to FRS 105). Amendments have also been recently made to FRS 101, FRS 102, FRS 104 and FRS 105 to reflect changes in company law following the UK's exit from the European Union and to FRS 101 as a result of the 2020/21 annual review of the standard.
