SME Accounting: An In-depth Workshop on FRS 102 and FRS 105
Welcome to this comprehensive training course on FRS 102 and FRS 105, the key UK accounting standards for SMEs and micro-entities. With significant amendments taking effect from January 2026, understanding these changes is crucial for financial professionals.
This course provides practical insights into updated accounting principles, their applications, and compliance requirements. Whether you are an accountant, auditor, business owner, or financial professional, this course will equip you with the knowledge needed to comply with evolving financial reporting standards.
FRS 102 governs financial reporting for SMEs in the UK and Ireland. It outlines requirements for asset and liability recognition, revenue measurement, lease accounting, financial instruments, and disclosure obligations.
The latest changes introduce a five-step revenue recognition model, requiring revenue recognition based on control transfer. Lease accounting now follows a revised model, eliminating the distinction between finance and operating leases. The classification and measurement of financial instruments have also been updated, improving transparency and consistency in financial reporting.
FRS 105 offers a simplified reporting framework for micro-entities, reducing disclosure requirements while maintaining financial integrity. Recent amendments refine revenue recognition principles, enhance financial statement presentation, and improve consistency with broader financial reporting frameworks. These updates aim to simplify compliance while ensuring financial transparency.
This course will help you:
- Understand the structure, principles, and scope of FRS 102 and FRS 105
- Learn how to apply the latest 2026 amendments to financial reporting
- Implement the new revenue recognition and lease accounting models
- Navigate recent changes to financial instrument classification and measurement
