FRS 30: Heritage assets

Find links to the accounting standard, technical summaries, useful guides and other resources on FRS 30 collated by ICAEW Library & Information Service.

The accounting standard FRS 30 set out disclosure requirements for reporting heritage assets. It was issued by the Accounting Standards Board in June 2009.

This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015. Topics within heritage assets are covered by Section 34 of FRS 102 under new UK GAAP.
