24.7 Disclosures
24.7.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 24.6 – 24.7

24.6 An entity shall disclose the following: (a) the accounting policy adopted for grants in accordance with paragraph 24.4; (b) the nature and amounts of grants recognised in the financial statements; (c) unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to grants that have been recognised in income; and (d) an indication of other forms of government assistance from which the entity has directly benefited.

24.7 For the purpose of the disclosure required by paragraph 24.6(d), government assistance is action by government designed to provide an economic benefit specific to an entity or range of entities qualifying under specified criteria. Examples include free technical or marketing advice, the provision of guarantees, and loans at nil or low interest rates.

24.7.2 OmniPro comment
24.7.2.1 Analysis

See below illustration of the disclosure requirements in Section 24.6 of FRS 102. Company law in addition to Section 24,5G of FRS 102 does not allow the grant to be netted against the cost of the asset in the balance sheet. Usually deferred grants would be shown separately on the face of the balance sheet or included within the ‘provisions and liabilities’ line in the balance sheet.

24.7.2.2 Accounting policies
Example 16: Extract from an accounting policy note in the financial statements
24.7.2.2.1 Example using an accruals model

Government grants Government grants are recognised at their fair value when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received, and all related conditions will be met. Grants that relate to specific capital expenditure are treated as deferred income which is then credited to the profit and loss account over the related asset’s useful life (i.e. an accruals basis).  Revenue grants are credited to the profit and loss account when receivable so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate. Government grants received are included in ‘other income’ in profit or loss

24.7.2.2.2 Example using the performance model

Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and all related conditions will be met. Grants that relate to specific capital expenditure are treated as deferred income which is then credited to the profit and loss account once the performance conditions of the grant have been met.  Revenue grants are credited to the profit and loss account when the performance conditions for the grant are fulfilled.

24.7.2.3 Notes to the financial statements
