FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro‑entities Regime
FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro‑entities Regime
This FRS is intended for use in the preparation of the financial statements of companies that qualify for the micro-entities regime. The accounting requirements are adapted to satisfy the legal requirements applicable to micro-entities and reflect the simpler nature and smaller size of micro-entities. The application of the micro-entities regime is optional, however, a micro-entity that chooses to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the regime is required to apply FRS 105. An entity that qualifies for but chooses not to apply the regime is required to apply another standard.
The Table of Differences describes the relationships between UK and Ireland financial reporting standards and IFRS Standards.
