Are you sure you want FRS/SSAPs? Do you not mean IFRS/IAS??
Regards
Steve0 -
IFRS/IAS is for ACCA i believe..We use SSAP and FRS in AAT.0
-
Are you doing DFS? If so this is examinable under IAS/IFRS.

I'm doing FRA. So, we're getting only the SSAPs and FRAs0

I've just noticed the forum you've posted this in - you're not doing DFS!
A Technical Summary is provided on the ASB's website which might help you.
Kind regards

FRSs is financial reporting standards
we are concerned with 15 tangible assets (physical assets)
and 18 accounting policies

=comparibility

FRS 18 also talks about accrual & prudence concept I think those along with the above will come up, going by ECR maybe not directly either it may be required to back up an answer.0 -
I found this if it helps anyone....
FRS 18 - Accounting policies
Three main concepts- 1) ACCrual concept -final accounts should be
prepared on accrual basis
2) Going concern- final accounts to be prepared
on the assumption that business
continue trading for foreseeable future.
3) Materiality-accounting treatment of small items in
the financial statements
4 objectives -relevance, reliability, understandability, comparability
FRS 15 - Accounting for Tangible Fixed assets
-Depreciation
SSAP 5 - Accounting for value added tax
-sales reported in P&L should not include VAT
-irrecoverable Vat should be included in cost of item
SSap 9- Stocks and longterm contracts
-stock valued at lower of cost and Net realisable value.
SSAP 21 - Accounting for leases and hire purchase contracts
-2 types of leases 1) oerating lease
2) finance lease0 -

Thanks for that, forgot about materiality. I think prudence was absorbed into accruals concept when it moved from an ssap to an frs0
