FRS 102: Guiding you through the key upcoming changes for UK GAAP

If you are currently reporting under UK GAAP or transitioning between accounting frameworks (eg, UK GAAP to IFRS), you might be aware that in March 2024, the FRC made amendments to FRS 102. These include a new five-step model for revenue recognition based on IFRS 15, balance sheet recognition of leases based on IFRS 16 and alignment of fair value principles with IFRS 13 and various other incremental improvements and clarifications. The revised standard is applicable from 1 January 2026.

The changes are significant, and management should consider performing an impact assessment, engaging with investors and other business partners to understand the impact on revenue recognition, recognition of leases and fair value adjustments. As well as consideration of the impacts new data requirements on systems and finance teams.
