FRS 102: Financial instruments under UK GAAP

FRS 102 Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments and Section 12 Other Financial Instruments Issues set out the requirements for the recognition, derecognition, measurement and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities. Section 12 includes the requirements for derivatives and hedge accounting.

The standard

The requirements regarding financial instruments are set out as part of FRS 102. However, individual sections of the standard should not be looked at in isolation as other parts may be relevant.

FRS 102 is regularly updated and amended by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). For the full text of FRS 102, guidance on which version of the standard to apply and notes on recent amendments, see our main FRS 102 page.
