The Companies (Accounting) Bill 2016 is scheduled for Report Stage in Dáil Éireann this week. The timing of enactment thereafter will depend on the availability of parliamentary time.
In light of the benefits for many companies provided for in that Bill, it remains a legislative priority for the Government.

The Companies (Accounting) Bill 2016 will transpose Directive 2013/34/EU (the EU Accounting Directive) into Irish legislation. That Bill is scheduled for Report Stage in the Dáil this week.
Clearly, the timing of enactment thereafter will depend on the availability of parliamentary time.
FRS 105 is the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime. The Bill introduces new provisions for a new category of micro company, which is a subset of the category of small company. Accordingly, FRS 105 will be available to micro companies once the Bill is enacted and commenced.
