FRS 105, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime, sets the recognition and measurement rules for the smallest companies. It is simpler than FRS 102 Section 1A, which small companies use. Assets and liabilities are generally recorded at historical cost, there is no deferred tax and most disclosure notes fall away.
