Find links to the accounting standard, technical summaries, useful guides and other resources on FRS 13 collated by ICAEW Library & Information Service.
The accounting standard FRS 13 aimed to improve disclosures provided in respect of all types of financial instruments. It was issued by the Accounting Standards Board in September 1998.
This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015. Topics within financial instruments and disclosures are covered by Section 11, Section 12 and Section 34 of FRS 102 under new UK GAAP.
