1. REVENUE
IFRS 15

2. five step process
• IFRS 15 – Revenue recognition: A five step process
• An entity recognises revenue by applying the following five
steps:
• 1 Identify the contract
• 2 Identify the separate performance obligations within a
contract
• 3 Determine the transaction price
• 4 Allocate the transaction price to the performance
obligations in the
• contract
• 5 Recognise revenue when (or as) a performance obligation
is satisfied

3. • On 1 December 20X1, Wade receives an order
from a customer for a computer as well as 12
months of technical support. Wade delivers
the computer (and transfers its legal title) to
the customer on the same day. The customer
paid $420 on 1 December 20X1. The computer
normally sells for $300 and the technical
support for $120.

4. Step 1: Identify the contract
• A contract is 'an agreement between two or
more parties that creates
• enforceable rights and obligations' (IFRS 15,
Appendix A).
• A contract can be agreed in writing, orally, or
through other customary business practices

5. Step 2: Identifying the separate performance
obligations within a
contract
• Some contracts contain more than one
performance obligation. For example:
• An entity may enter into a contract with a
customer to sell a car, which includes one
year’s free servicing and maintenance
• An entity might enter into a contract with a
customer to provide 5 lectures, as well as to
provide a textbook on the first day of the
course

6. Step 3: Determining the transaction
price
• 'When determining the transaction price, an
entity shall consider theeffects of all of the
following:
• variable consideration
• the existence of a significant financing
component in the contract
• non-cash consideration
• consideration payable to a customer'

7. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price
The
• The total transaction price should be allocated to
each performance obligation in proportion to
stand-alone selling prices.
• The best evidence of a stand-alone selling price is
the observable price of a good or service when
the entity sells that good or service separately in
similar
• circumstances and to similar customers.If a stand-
alone selling price is not directly observable, then
the entity estimates the stand-alone selling price.

8. Step 5: Recognise revenue
• Revenue is recognised 'when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation by
transferring a promised good or service to a
customer

9. Repurchase agreements
• A repurchase agreement is where an entity sells an asset but
retains a right to repurchase the asset. This is often not recognized
as a sale, but as a secured loan against the asset. Indications that
this should not be recognized as a sale
• may include:
• Sale is below fair value
• Option to repurchase is below the expected fair value
• Entity continues to use the asset
• Entity continues to hold the majority of risks and rewards
associated with
• ownership of the asset
• Sale is to a bank or financing company

10. Bill-and-hold arrangements
• For a bill-and-hold arrangement to exist:
• The customer must have requested the
arrangement
• The product must be identified as belonging to
the customer
• The product must be ready for physical transfer
to the customer
• The entity cannot have the ability to use the
product or sell it to someone else.

11. Satisfying a performance obligation
over time
• 'An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and,
therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognises
revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
• A the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the
benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity
performs
• B the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for
example,work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset
is created or enhanced, or
• C the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date'

12. Contract costs
• IFRS 15 says that the following costs must be capitalised:
• The incremental costs of obtaining a contract.
• The costs of fulfilling a contract if they do not fall within
the scope of
• another standard (such as IAS 2 Inventories) and the entity
expects them
• to be recovered.
• The capitalised costs will be amortised as revenue is
recognised. This means
• that they will be expensed to cost of sales as the contract
progresses
