Course Details
With FRS 102 amendments effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, the 2027 reporting season will bring significant changes for NI entities. The revised requirements for leasing and revenue recognition represent the most substantial changes to UK GAAP in over a decade, and alongside ongoing Companies House reform and updates to FRS 101, there is a lot for practitioners to get across before year end. This session brings together all the key developments, giving you and your clients a clear head start on 2027.
In this session Lindsay Webber will cover the following topics:
- FRS 102 Section 20: the new leasing model and on-balance sheet recognition

- Transition options, practical expedients and key implementation decisions
- Companies House reform: latest updates and what they mean for UK businesses
- FRS 101 updates and their impact on qualifying entities
By attending this session, you will have a clear understanding of the key financial reporting changes taking effect for 2027 and be better placed to advise clients and prepare compliant financial statements under the revised standards.
