Flashcards IFRS 15
What contract costs other than those covered by IAS 2, 16 + 38 are capitalised ?
1)
cost to obtain a contract
- incremental cost related to a identfiable specific obtained contract
- practical expedient : if amortisation period =< 1 year, cost can be expensed
2) cost to fulfill a contract - directly related to an identifyable specific contract
+ the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and
+ the costs are expected to be recovered.
How are capitalised costs other than those covered by IAS 2, 16 + 38 expensed ?
Shall be amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates
How are changes to amortisations of capitalised contract cost other than per IAS 2,16,38 accounted ?
Change in accounting estimates per IAS 8
How is an impairment loss for contract cost asset other than those covered by IAS2,16,38 determined ?
1) determine impairment per IAS 2, 16, 38
2) determine impairment on other contract cost to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset recognised exceeds:
(a) the remaining amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive
WITHOUT constraining estimates of variable income
less
(b) the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognised as expenses. To be adjusted the effects of customer’s credit risk
How are costs other than those covered by IAS 2, 16 + 38 are presented in the stmt of fin pos ?
Separately as CONTRACT ASSETS or CONTRACT LIABILITIES.
Unconditional rights to consideration should be included in Trade receivables
How are amounts receivable/received before g/s are transferred to customer accounted ?
Against a contract liability
What contract cost must be expensed ?
1) General & administrative cost (unless explicitly chargeable to customer under contract)
2) Cost related to fully/partially satisfied performance obligations (past performance)
3) Cost where the entity canNOT determine if related to performed/unperformed obligations
4) Cost of wasted material/labor not included in contract price
What is the objective of the IFRS 15 disclosures ?
understand
1) nature,
2) amount,
3) timing,
4) uncertainty of cash flows from contracts w/customers
What are the 5 steps in the revenue recognition process ?

How to identify a contract ?
1-parties have approved and are committedexcluded: contracts w/rights to unilaterally terminate w/o compensation for all parties
2-parties rights to good/services can be identified
3-payment terms can be identified
4-contract has commercial substance
5-probable that entity will collect consideration (collaterals are IGNORED in determining this criteria)
When do contracts need to be combined ?
1-The contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective; OR
2-The amount of consideration paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other contract; OR
3-The goods or services in the contracts (or some of them in each contract) are a single performance obligation
What are the driving consideration that determine treatment of contract modification ?
1-Separate contract :
- distinct addition g/s
- selling prices = stand-alone prices
2-Retro-active adjustment :
- no distinct or addl g/s
3-Termination + new contract :
- distinct addl g/s
- selling prices NOT = stand-alone selling prices
What is the portfolio expedient ?
Contracts (or performance obligations)
(i) with similar characteristics
(ii) if the entity reasonably expects that the effects on the financial statements of
applying this Standard to the portfolio would not differ materially from
applying this Standard to the individual contracts (or performance obligations)
within that portfolio.
How are contract modifications dealt with ?
1) Retrospective contract modification : Catch-up adjustment
- g/s added are not distinct
2) Termination + New contract if :
- added g/s are distinct
- added g/s amounts do NOT reflect the stand-alone selling prices for the added g/s in the circumstances
3) Separate contract :
- added g/s are distinct
- added g/s amounts DO reflect the stand-alone selling prices for the added g/s in the circumstances
How are changes in variable consideration accounting for ?
Accounted for are a retrospective adjustment
