FRS 102
FRS 102 is based on the IFRS for SMEs, with amendments for application in the UK. It incorporates some significant differences from EU-IFRS, including:
requiring the Companies Act formats to be applied by all entities, including non-companies;
requiring the amortisation of goodwill;
permitting the expensing of borrowing and development costs;
a “timing difference plus” approach to deferred tax; and
a different approach to financial instrument accounting.
