Course Details

SMEs have faced, and continue to face, a number of uncertainties including COVID-19, rising inflation and climate change. Technology is developing and changing at an incredible pace. How does this ever-changing and unpredictable landscape affect financial statements? 

This session covers some of the key accounting considerations for SMEs as they look towards preparing FY2022 financial statements, and the areas where accountants should be focusing their attention. 


For both preparers and reviewers of financial statements, this session serves as a refresher of these chapters of the accounting standard, and the session will include both theory from FRS 102 and additional worked examples and useful tools.  You will learn about some of the practical difficulties in applying these sections and how to overcome these. 


In this session Lindsay & Claire cover the following   

  • FRS 102 Section 1A – accounts of small companies, and the company law small companies’ regime
  • FRS 102 Section 21 – provisions and contingencies
  • FRS 102 Section 27 – Impairment of assets
  • FRS 102 Section 32 – Post balance sheet events
  • FRS 102 Section 33 – Related party transactions 
  • Companies House – Register of Overseas Entities – what action is required from Irish property companies?
