Category: Financial Reporting | Duration: 1hr | Tag: VODUK2408 | Type: Video | Course Level: Intermediate | Speaker: Robert Kirk | Date: 01/02/2024 10:00
Course Details
This covers the main proposals that have been developed by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) to update the existing FRS 102 and 105. As most accountants in Ireland are involved in either preparing or advising clients on how to comply with these standards it is important that they have an early warning to the significant changes being proposed, particularly on accounting for leases and reporting revenue in the financial statements.
The following topics are covered during this course:
- Brief introduction to the publication of FRED 82
- Summary of key changes to lessee accounting
- Summary of the key changes to reporting revenue
- Quick review of the proposed changes to the definition of an asset, liability and the different recognition and derecognition of both
- Brief discussion of changes to FRS 102 Section 1A and FRS 105
