Overview

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 Accounting Standards.

FRS 105 is subject to a periodic review at least every five years. The first periodic review, the Triennial Review 2017, was completed in December 2017, with an effective date of 1 January 2019. The second periodic review, the Periodic Review 2024, was completed in March 2024, with an effective date of 1 January 2026.
