  • About the course

      This course looks at the UK GAAP requirements for small and micro reporting entities. These requirements were introduced a while back now in 2016, when significant changes in financial reporting for the smallest companies and other organisations were brought in by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). The FRC introduced Financial Reporting Standards for the smallest companies, and included a new category of company, the "micro-entity". A large number of companies in the UK meet the thresholds so these financial reporting standards are relevant and significant to many business owners and their advisors.

      This course will help you find out more about the financial reporting options for small and micro-entities. It explores the background to the standards, examines the accounting and disclosure requirements and considers the potential wider implications and planning aspects that should ensure a smooth transition to a different regime.
