Published: 18 April 2023

The consultation for the FRED 82 Draft amendments to FRS 102 The Financial reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and other FRSs will close on 30 April.

FRED 82 proposes a number of changes resulting from the second periodic review of FRS 102 and other Financial Reporting Standards. The proposals include: a new model of revenue recognition in FRS 102 and FRS 105; a new model of lease accounting in FRS 102; and various other incremental improvements and clarifications. The FRED is accompanied by a consultation stage impact assessment.

In developing FRED 82, the FRC has considered changes to IFRS Accounting Standards, the IASB’s proposed changes in developing the third edition of the IFRS for SMEs  Accounting Standard, stakeholder feedback in response to the FRC’s 2021 request for views, and other developments in corporate reporting.

As a result of the amendments set out in FRED 82, FRS 102 will reflect up-to-date IFRS-based solutions, providing high-quality and clear financial reporting to users. This will include more transparent reporting of lease obligations, as well as a clear five-step model for determining the recognition of revenue from all contracts with customers. The proposals have been designed to be proportionate to the size and complexity of the entities applying the standards.

The proposed effective date of the amendments set out in the FRED is 1 January 2025. Comments on FRED 82, including the consultation stage impact assessment, are requested by 30 April 2023.
