Yes, the spotlight's on revenue recognition and lease accounting. FRED 82 brings a few other key changes to FRS 102 that are worth your attention. Here’s what else you need to know to stay ahead of the curve.
There’s been plenty of buzz around the headline changes to revenue and lease accounting in FRS 102, and fair enough, they’re big ones. But let’s not stop there.
Dig a little deeper into the detail, and you’ll find a whole range of other updates that could have a real impact on how you report and run your business. They’re not making the front-page news, but they’re just as important to understand, especially if you want to stay ahead of the curve and avoid any surprises come year-end.
Our team rolled up their sleeves, combed through the finer points of the updated FRS 102, and pulled together a straightforward, no-nonsense roundup of the changes you might’ve missed. No jargon.

Big changes are coming for lessees. The FRC’s latest update to FRS 102 brings lease accounting in line with international standards – meaning most leases will now need to be recognised on the balance sheet
Responsive, advice which is on the front foot, thinking further down the line than just today’s advice which adds value and opportunity to work further together to make sure arrangements are correctly completed.
I find the tax service difficult, I value having a relationship wher eI can pick up the phone and have someone who understands the business – I’ve not had that at Cooper Parry. Fee quotes and work scopes are disproportionate for the stage of business that we are. Audit was fairly hands off this year; we completed in a tight frame which we appreciated but I’m not sure we got the hands on value add partnership that we’ve had more of in prior years. No mention of FRS102 changes for example which would have been one example of value add from CP in terms of our internal planning.
The team are always responsive to queries and also helpful to introduce me to the right person at CP if they can’t help. Whoever I liaise with are knowledgeable, easy to work with and understand the business needs.
Glen and the audit team are always well prepared and now having worked together for 3+ years they whole process has become very good in light of the fact we all know how each party works and can make the necessary allowances for timings and personnel availability
Generally very pro-active. Make us aware of any issues that may affect the year end in advance. Also helping re capital allowances in advance of the current year. All of the team are approachable whilst maintaining a strong professional ethic.
Good communication with audit team. Clear audit plan at start of process. Good interaction with audit team during the audit. Frequent check ins. Timelines for audit and reporting have always been met.
We use CP predominantly for our annual audit and the process always feels “painless”.
Consistent team on the audit each year makes it easier year on year. Prompt response to queries even when not on site. Easy to use portal for uploading documents.
Attention to detail and a personalised service
