Synopsis
FRS 30 Heritage Assets introduces new disclosure requirements for reporting the value, content and stewardship of collections held by museums and art galleries.
The standard covers heritage assets which are kept mainly for their contribution to knowledge and culture, regardless of whether these assets are reported in the balance sheet.
The recognition and measurement requirements of FRS 15 Tangible Fixed Assets are retained, however to encourage a valuation approach, the FRS allows entities to use internal valuations without the need for a full valuation every five years.
