Course Details

Fair value measurement crops up in many areas of FRS 102, sometimes as a requirement and sometimes as an accounting policy choice. With the recent amendments to FRS 102 now in effect, it is important to revisit where fair values apply, when they must be used, and how the changes affect measurement and disclosure for entities reporting under UK GAAP. This session is designed to give UK accountants a clear, practical refresher on fair value under FRS 102.

 

In this webinar Lindsay Webber will cover the following topics:

  • Overview of where fair value applies under FRS 102
  • Fair value as a measurement requirement versus an accounting policy choice
  • Changes under the new FRS 102 affecting fair value measurement
  • The fair value hierarchy and related disclosure requirements
  • Practical issues across investment property, financial instruments and business combinations

 

By attending this session, you will have a clear understanding of when fair value measurement is required or permitted under FRS 102, and how the recent amendments affect the application of fair values in practice.

 

This session will be of particular interest to accountants and financial controllers preparing or reviewing financial statements under FRS 102.
