From IRIS version 16.1, the following topic explains the process for creating FRSSE 2015 accounts.
FRSSE 2015 is applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and before 1 January 2016 only.
FRSSE 2015 is NOT applicable for periods starting on or after 1st January
2016 (or where Regulations 2015 have been adopted early).
An alternative to FRSSE from 1st January 2016 is FRS 102 Section 1A.
Charities will continue to require FRS 102 to be selected to apply the Charities SORP – FRSSE see How to create a set of FRS 102 Accounts for more information.

FRSSE 2015 is now included within UK GAAP rather than FRS 102 making it quicker and easier to prepare your FRSSE client accounts.
The following process will guide you through how to change the FRS 102 posting files to the new UK GAAP (inc FRSSE 2015) accounting standards and remove the now unnecessary duplicate comparative period.
Select an existing client (using FRSSE 2015) and the automated prompt displays.
Select the relevant option from the Change of Accounting Standard Recommended screen.
Yes - to change the accounting standard (and remove the date FRS 102 applies) automatically – continue to step 4.
No - to skip this step and continue without any changes. This will leave the post files under FRS102 standards. Refer to step 3 for manual changes.
Entries - to view all post files entries for this client and make relevant changes. Refer to step 3 below for manual changes.
The following warning message displays; select the relevant option.
Yes – when FRSSE 2015 was included within FRS 102 a duplicate comparative period was required.
Clicking Yes on the previous screen IRIS will have changed the accounting standards for both the current and the comparative period that were previously FRS 102, effectively leaving two of the same post files with the same accounting standards and the same period ends for the comparative. Here you are being prompted to view and delete that duplicate posting entry.
No - terminate the process.
All post files will now refer to UK GAAP.
Please follow the below steps to amend FRS 102 post files to UK GAAP (inc FRSSE 2015) if in step 2 above, the following option was selected; Do not show this message again for this client.

Highlight the Client and select Entries.
Highlight the Post file and select Change.
From the Accounting Standard drop-down, select UK GAAP (inc FRSSE 2015).
Click OK to save changes.
The following screen will display due to the previously required duplicate comparative period.
All post files will now refer to UK GAAP.
