FRS 102 Section 21 sets out the requirements that apply to provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets that are not covered by other sections of the standard.
The requirements regarding provisions (liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) and contingencies are set out as part of FRS 102. However, individual sections of the standard should not be looked at in isolation as other parts may be relevant.
FRS 102 is regularly updated and amended by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). For the full text of FRS 102, guidance on which version of the standard to apply and notes on recent amendments, see our main FRS 102 page.
