This title provides accountants and auditors with easy to follow and well structured guidance on the preparation of group accounts in line with UK GAAP. Group accounts must be prepared, by law, for medium-sized and large groups. Listed companies are required to prepare their accounts in line with International Financial Reporting Standards but larger unlisted companies can prepare their statements using UK GAAP. Groups are very common in the UK and are likely to become even more common when corporation tax rates increase in the future as there are various tax advantages to operating under a group structure. Group structures can vary (e.g. horizontal, vertical, hybrid, D-shaped|) and preparing financial accurate financial statements can be complex as a result. While there is a lot of guidance on producing accounts under IFRS, there is every little in evidence dealing with the UK GAAP rules. This title addresses this gap. The commentary identifies the differences between IFRS and UK GAAP in the treatment of group accounts. The differences between accounts produced pre and post Brexit are also covered. All commentary is supported throughout by the inclusion of worked practical examples based on the authors experience dealing with clients and running training courses. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Financial Reporting for Smaller Companies online service.

Based on 4 years' worth of understanding, this new edition of Financial Reporting for Unlisted Companies in the UK and the Republic of Ireland details how the standard should be applied in different circumstances. This is conveyed using many real-life examples from practice. The content has also been restructured so it is more in line with the structure of FRS 102. This edition of the title also incorporates the micro-entities regime, which had not been transposed into company law at the time the 1st edition was written. The book has also been revised with the changes brought in through the FRC's Triennial Review which was published in December 2017. The principal amendments to the standard are as follows: - The simplification of the measurement of directors' loans to small entities - A requirement for fewer intangible assets to be separated from goodwill in a business combination - Permit investment property rented to another group entity is to be measured by reference to cost, rather than fair value - There is expansion of the circumstances in which a financial instrument may be measured at amortised cost, rather than fair value - The definition of a financial institution has been simplified. New case law covered includes: - Companies Act 2006 and related SIs - FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (March 2018) - FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable to the Micro-entities Regime (March 2018)
