04 Jul, 2017
The table below reflects new and revised new UK GAAP financial reporting requirements that need to be considered for financial reporting periods ending on 30 June 2017
Most companies will now have transitioned to the new UK GAAP framework. For those companies that have not, our 'New UK GAAP' collection of resources, will provide helpful guidance.
For those that are already applying the new UK GAAP framework there are amended versions of FRSs 100, 101 and 102 which incorporate changes as a result of the UK implementation of the EU Accounting Directive.
Additionally, there are significant changes to the financial reporting regime for smaller and micro companies who can no longer follow the FRSSE. These changes are applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.
A number of changes have also been made to the accounting and reporting requirements for LLPs in law, to align with the changes made for companies and qualifying partnerships.

Note 1 - For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 those previously applying the FRSSE 2015 will either have to follow the recognition and measurement requirements of FRS 102 and the presentation and disclosure requirements within 'Section 1A Small Entities' or apply FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime (if they qualify as micro-entities).
Note 2 - The July 2015 amendments to FRS 101 are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, other than those arising from revisions to the Accounting Regulations which are effective periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted and required if and only if the entity is early adopting the new Accounting Regulations.
Note 3 - The July 2015 amendments to FRS 102 are applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted and required if and only if the entity is early adopting the new Accounting Regulations (or from 1 January 2015 if the entity is not subject to company law).
Note 4 - FRS 100 does not contain accounting requirements in itself but rather provides direction as to the relevant standard(s) for an entity to apply (whether EU-adopted IFRSs, FRS 101, FRS 102, or FRS 105). FRS 100 was updated in July 2015 as a result of consequential amendments arising from the implementation of the EU Accounting Directive, introduction of FRS 105 and withdrawal of the FRSSE.
Entities should apply the version of FRS 100 that corresponds to the edition of FRS 101, FRS 102 or FRS 105 to which they are applying. For instance if an entity applies the edition of FRS 101 applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, it must also apply the revised version of FRS 100 published in July 2015.
Note 5 - IFRS 15 is applicable to an entity's first annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
Note 6 - IFRS 16 is applicable to an entity's first annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. It has not yet been endorsed for use in the EU.
Note 7 - Effective immediately with retrospective application available; it shall not be applied directly, or by analogy, to any other transaction, event or condition. As it is an interim measure, this amendment will be deleted as part of the finalisation of FRED 67. It will then be replaced with permanent requirements based on the proposals in FRED 67 after considering the outcome of the consultation process.
