In March 2013, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) issued FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. This is the main part of the new UK GAAP regime and follows the issue in November 2012 of FRS 100, which explains the framework, and FRS 101, which allows the individual accounts of qualifying parent and subsidiary entities (as defined) to be prepared under EU-IFRS recognition and measurement but with reduced disclosures from the full IFRS standards. A specialist standard (FRS 103) for insurers is yet to be issued but a draft standard (FRED 49 Insurance contracts) is open for comment until 31 OCtober 2013.
