Find links to the accounting standard, technical summaries, useful guides and other resources on FRS 8 collated by ICAEW Library & Information Service.
The accounting standard FRS 8 required disclosure of information on related party transactions and of a reporting entity's controlling party. It was issued by the Accounting Standards Board in October 1995 and subsequently amended in November 2010 and December 2008.
This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015. Topics within related party disclosures are covered by Section 33 of FRS 102 under new UK GAAP.
