FRS 118 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will replace FRS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. While much of FRS 1 will be carried forward to the new standard with only limited wording changes, FRS 118 introduces several new requirements that are expected to impact the presentation and disclosure of most, if not all, entities. This session explains the key presentation and disclosure changes introduced by FRS 118, how these differ from FRS 1, and assess the practical implications for financial statement preparers and auditors.
