  • About the course

      The Financial Reporting Council’s periodic review of UK and Ireland GAAP has resulted in Section 2 Concepts and Pervasive Principles being redrafted for both FRS 102 and FRS 105. It is now more aligned to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued by the IASB.

      This short course examines each of the different areas covered by Section 2 - the mechanism that underpins the preparation of general purpose financial statements, giving high-level guidance on recognition and measurement.
