Question 1.1 [Section 3 - Financial Statement Presentation and Appendix 1 – Primary Statements] 

Do you agree with the FEHE SORP Board’s proposal that the primary statements should remain unchanged and continue to be based on a single column presentation?

This question follows feedback received when the SORP was last updated in 2019 and at that time, the FEHE SORP Board agreed to continue with the single column approach. An alternative approach would be to align more closely with the Charities SORP which analyses income between restricted, unrestricted and endowment funds in separate columns on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Question 1.2 [Section 14 - Leases]

Do you agree with the FEHE SORP Board’s proposals in respect of the implementation of Section 20 'Leases' of FRS 102.?

Specifically, in relation to the SORP Board’s proposals in paragraphs 14.22 and 14.23 relating to leases that involve government grants and non-exchange transactions, are there are sector specific considerations, technical aspects, or specific examples relating to FE or HE that would be beneficial to include?

Question 1.3 [Section 16 - Revenue]

Do you agree with the FEHE SORP Board’s proposals in respect of the implementation of Section 23 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' of FRS 102?

Specifically, with reference to the SORP Board’s proposal in paragraphs 16.33 and 16.34 that an institution shall now account for consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of revenue, do you anticipate any difficulties or major impact of implementing this change?

Furthermore, with reference to the examples given in Section 16.34 of consideration payable to a customer, do you have any other examples or similar situations that would benefit from inclusion in this Section?

Question 1.4 [Section 16 – Revenue] 16.18 to 16.23 – Agency Arrangements]*

The definitions of agent and principal have been changed in the new standard (as described in paragraphs 23.36 to 23.40 of FRS 102, 'Principal versus agent considerations'). Do you have any general comments, specific issues or remarks you would like to make in respect of this change?
