Corrections of prior period errors
Extracts from FRS102 section 10.19 – 10.23
10.19 Prior period errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, an entity’s financial statements for one or more prior periods arising from a failure to use, or misuse of, reliable information that:
(a) was available when financial statements for those periods were authorised for issue; and
(b) could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into account in the preparation and presentation of those financial statements.
10.20 Such errors include the effects of mathematical mistakes, mistakes in applying accounting policies, oversights or misinterpretations of facts, and fraud.
10.21 To the extent practicable, an entity shall correct a material prior period error retrospectively in the first financial statements authorised for issue after its discovery by:
(a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or
(b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.
10.22 When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of a material error on comparative information for one or more prior periods presented, the entity shall restate the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest period for which retrospective restatement is practicable (which may be the current period).
Disclosure of prior period errors
10.23 An entity shall disclose the following about material prior period errors:
(a) the nature of the prior period error;
(b) for each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the amount of the correction for each financial statement line item affected;
(c) to the extent practicable, the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest prior period presented; and
(d) an explanation if it is not practicable to determine the amounts to be disclosed in (b) or (c) above.
Financial statements of subsequent periods need not repeat these disclosures.
OmniPro comment
From the guidance above, the point to consider in determining whether a prior year adjustment/restatement is required as a result of a prior year error is whether the error is material to the current and/or periods.
When disclosing this in the financial statements, the word ‘restated’ should be shown in the prior year comparatives in the balance sheet and profit and loss as well as being included at the top of any notes to the financial statements which were affected by the error.
On transition to FRS 102 as the whole of the prior year comparative will have changed since the prior period financial statements were issued, the prior year disclosure will be shown in the equity reconciliation and full details of the error provided in the notes detailing the transition adjustments. See an example of same in example 7 below.
See below the application of the above guidance.
Example 6: Prior period error
During the 31 December 2015 year end, Company A noticed that the prior year financial statements omitted stock of CU100,000 which was material to the financial statements. Stock in the same location was also omitted at year ended 31 December 2013. The inventory in this location at that time was CU95,000. Given the materiality, this error requires a prior year adjustment. Assume a corporation tax rate of 10%. The adjustments required to correct this error are:

Prior year adjustment
Prior year adjustment – material error
The prior year adjustment is due to the omission of inventory located in an outside warehouse being excluded from the inventory at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013. The value of the inventory at 31 December 2014 was CU100,000 and the value of the inventory at 31 December 2013 was CU95,000. The financial statements for 2014 has been restated to correct this error.
The prior year adjustment resulted in an increase to the inventory balance at 31 December 2013 and 2014 of CU95,000 and CU100,000 respectively. This has resulted in the cost of sales for 31 December 2014 year end decreasing by CU5,000 and the profit and loss reserves increasing by CU85,500 being the net of tax adjustment and the tax charge for 2014 increasing by CU500. The effect of the restatement on each financial statement line item affected is shown below.
