About the FRC FRC Structure Corporate Reporting Council

Corporate Reporting Council

The role of the Corporate Reporting Council is to:

  • Provide strategic input and thought leadership, both in the field of accounting and financial reporting and in the work-plan of the FRC as a whole. This will involve "horizon-scanning" and consulting with practitioners or users;

  • Consider and advise the FRC Board upon draft codes and standards (or amendments thereto) to ensure that a high quality, effective and proportionate approach is taken;

  • Consider and comment on proposed developments in relation to international codes and standards and regulations; and

  • Consider and advise on research proposals and other initiatives undertaken to inform the FRC on matters material to its remit and any resultant publications.

The Council comprise the Chair and up to eleven other members, up to half of the membership shall be practising members of the accounting profession.  Members of the Councils are appointed through an open process overseen by the Codes and Standards Committee (CSC) subject to the overall guidance of the Nominations Committee of the FRC.   

The Financial Reporting Council assumed responsibility for accounting standards on 2 July 2012.  Accounting standards were formerly developed by the Accounting Standards Board of the FRC. 

Accounting standards apply to all companies, and other entities that prepare accounts that are intended to provide a true and fair view. The Foreword to Accounting Standards explains the authority, scope and application of accounting standards.

Meetings of the Corporate Reporting Council are generally not open to the public, though agendas are published before the meetings, and minutes soon after.
