The UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) standards apply for accountants in practice in the UK (). Comprised of six Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) as defined by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), UK GAAP outlines key accounting principles as laid down by legislation and accountancy standards.

Mercia’s UK GAAP Library contains a wide range of online and interactive eLearning modules focused on the two key financial reporting standards: FRS102, the ‘default’ financial reporting standard and FRS 105, the financial reporting standard for micro entities. The modules are designed to keep accountants up to date; upskill or reskill employees; and provides an essential reference tool for experienced staff.

Staying up to date with UK GAAP

Staying updated on the latest UK GAAP standards is crucial for accountants in practice. UK GAAP principles and guidelines are used in the preparation of financial statements and in reporting financial information. Standards are amended periodically to reflect current issues or regular reviews and are developed in conjunction with key stakeholders.
