The accounting standard FRS 10 ensured that reporting entities charged purchased goodwill and intangible assets to their profit and loss accounts in the period in which they are depleted. It was issued by the Accounting Standards Board in December 1997.

This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015. Topics within the charging of intangible assets and goodwill are covered by Section 18 Section 19ofFRS 102 under new UK GAAP.
