FRS 1: Cash flow statements
Find links to the accounting standard, technical summaries, useful guides and other resources on FRS 1 collated by ICAEW Library & Information Service.
The accounting standard FRS 1 required reporting entities to prepare cash flow statements in accordance to a standardised practice. It was issued by the Accounting Standards Board in October 1996 and subsequently amended by FRS 25.
This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015. Topics within statement of cash flows are covered by Section 7 of FRS 102 under new UK GAAP.
