Background

In November 2020, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) issued Financial Reporting Exposure Draft 77 Draft amendments to FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework – 2020/21 cycle (FRED 77). FRED 77 proposed limited amendments to FRS 101 to provide certain disclosure exemptions in relation to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and for consistency with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.

It also proposed an amendment to FRS 101 to remove a reference to paragraphs 39 and 40 of IAS 1. These paragraphs were deleted by Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle, and therefore were only applicable for accounting periods beginning before 1 January 2013.

FRED 77 was issued in November 2020.
