Course Details

The financial reporting landscape in the UK is braced for some significant changes over the next 3-5 years. 

With the FRC expected to release updates to FRS 100 - 105 later in the year, the results of the Government’s consultation on “Restoring Trust in Audit and Corporate Governance” expected imminently, significant reform taking place at Companies House, and the creation of a UK Endorsement Board to set UK international accounting standards, accountants and auditors need to be aware of the substantial changes to the financial reporting environment that will be coming down the line. 

In this webinar, we will take a look at some of the anticipated changes, providing you with an insight into the future of financial reporting in the UK. Although primarily targeted at accountants who work with UK-incorporated entities, the content will also be of interest and relevance to those who work with entities that are related to UK-incorporated entities.

In this webinar, Claire Thomson will cover the following:

  • Anticipated changes to FRS100 – 105 as a result of the next triennial review by the FRC
  • Potential outcomes of the UK Govt’s consultation on “Restoring Trust in Audit and Corporate Governance”
  • Companies House White Paper on future reform
  • The UK Endorsement Board and it’s role in the future of UK reporting
