To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.
Background
In mid-May, the Investment Management Association (IMA) issued a
revised Statement of Recommended Practice: Financial Statements of
UK Authorised Funds ('the new SORP'). The revisions to the
previous SORP were prompted by a number of changes to the
accounting and regulatory framework within which authorised funds
operate. The new SORP is applicable for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2015 with early adoption
permitted.
Highlights of the revisions include:
- No requirement for aggregated financial statements.
- New comparative tables for each share class.
- Effective interest method for calculating revenue on debt
securities no longer mandatory.
- New disclosure requirements for transaction costs.
- Additional reporting requirements for non-UCITS funds under the
AIFMD.
- Extended fair value and investment property disclosures.

authorised fund managers,
