FRS 102 Section 35 sets out the requirements that apply to first-time adopters of the standard and how entities should prepare their first financial statements under FRS 102.
The requirements regarding first-time adoption 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.
