The SORP is designed to be accessed in modules and not read as a single book but professional advisers and other expert users may find it useful to view the whole SORP. The SORP applies to all charities preparing ‘true and fair’ accounts under UK-Irish Accounting Standards. However charitable companies registered in the Republic of Ireland may only follow the FRS 102 SORP. The second edition of the SORP is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
