FRS 102 has changed – What it means for your business.

The most significant revision to UK GAAP in over a decade is no longer approaching, it has arrived.

For accounting periods starting on or after 1 January 2026, the new FRS 102 rules on revenue recognition and lease accounting are already in force. If your business prepares accounts under UK GAAP, these changes apply to you now.

A further round of amendments, focused on financial statement presentation, is also on the way, taking effect from 1 January 2027.

Whether you’re a small business managing day-to-day accounts or a larger organisation dealing with complex leases and contracts, the time to get up to speed is now.

To help we have prepared a useful guide outlining the changes to:

  • Revenue recognition
  • Lease accounting
  • Fair value measurement
  • And more
