Background
The FRC has been working with SORP-making bodies in updating their SORPS to reflect the requirements of FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’.
Current status of the project
The following SORPS have been updated for FRS 102 and have been issued by their respective SORP-making body:
* In February 2016 the Charity Commission for England and Wales (‘Charity Commission’) and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) published an ‘Update Bulletin’ which amends the Charities SORP (FRS 102) as a result of changes to UK Accounting Standards which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendments are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 with earlier application permitted for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 if not prohibited by regulations, charity or company law. Should the amendments be adopted early, then the Update Bulletin is clear that all of the amendments must be adopted together in the charity’s trustees’ annual report and accounts. The amendments also confirm that the Charities SORP (FRSSE) will be withdrawn for such accounting periods and, from 1 January 2016 all charities will be required to follow the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

In May 2016 the Charity Commission and the OSCR began a consultation exercise to seek views on how the Charities SORP FRS 102 can be improved.
$ In February 2018 the Charity Commission for England and Wales (‘Charity Commission’) and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) issued a joint consultation on proposed amendments to the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) (‘Charities SORP FRS 102) following amendments to UK accounting standards in December 2017 which formed part of the 2017 Triennial review of the standard by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). The consultation closed on 4 April 2018.
^ In November 2018 the Charity Commission for England and Wales (‘Charity Commission’) and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) published a further ‘Update Bulletin’ which amends the Charities SORP (FRS 102) as a result of amendments to UK accounting standards in December 2017 which formed part of the 2017 Triennial review of the standard by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).
