FRS 29: Financial instruments: Disclosures
Find links to the accounting standard, technical summaries, useful guides and other resources on FRS 29 collated by ICAEW Library & Information Service.
The accounting standard FRS 29 set out the requirements for disclosure. It was issued by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) in December 2005 and subsequently amended in August, October and December 2008, May 2009, November 2010 and July 2011. FRS 29 replaced the disclosure requirements of FRS 25: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and implemented IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015. Topics relating to financial instruments are covered by Section 11, Section 12 and Section 34 of FRS 102 under new UK GAAP.
