core principle
an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Five-step framework
- Identify the contract(s) with a customer
- Identify the performance obligations in the contract
- Determine the transaction price
- Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
- Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
- the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract;
- each party’s rights in relation to the goods or services to be transferred can be identified;
- the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred can be identified;
- the contract has commercial substance; and
- it is probable that the consideration to which the entity is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services will be collected.
If a contract with a customer does not yet meet all of the above criteria
the entity will continue to re-assess the contract going forward to determine whether it subsequently meets the above criteria. From that point, the entity will apply IFRS 15 to the contract
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
- a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
- a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
distinct good or service criteria
- the customer can benefit from the good or services on its own or in conjunction with other readily available resources; and
- the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately idenitifable from other promises in the contract.
series of distinct goods or services is transferred criteria
- each distinct good or service in the series that the entity promises to transfer consecutively to the customer would be a performance obligation that is satisfied over time (see below); and
- a single method of measuring progress would be used to measure the entity’s progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct good or service in the series to the customer.
Factors for consideration for transferring goods or services
- the entity does provide a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or services promised in the contract;
- the goods or services significantly modify or customise other goods or services promised in the contract;
- the goods or services are highly interrelated or highly interdependent.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
- The promised amount of consideration is variable
- The contract has a significant financing component
- Trade and settlement discounts
transaction price
the amount to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods and services.
Variable consideration (Discount or right of return)
- Estimating the amount of variable consideration the entity will be entitled to.
- Constraining the estimated variable consideration
- Refund Liability
Estimating the amount of variable consideration the entity will be entitled to.
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, an entity shall estimate the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer.
Constraining the estimated variable consideration
An entity shall include in the transaction price the variable consideration estimated, only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved
Refund Liability
Measured at the amount of consideration received to which the entity does not expect to be entitled to.
Shall be updated at the end of each reporting period for changes in circumstances
Examples of refund liability
- A customers right to return goods and be refunded for the returned goods.
- A customers right to a settlement discount for payment within a certain period.
- A customers right to a volume discount for a certain volume of purchases within a particular period of time.
- The customers obligation to pay additional consideration if the product achieves a certain level of effectiveness.
SIGNIFICANT FINANCING COMPONENT
- The difference, if any, between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods or
services; and - The combined effect of (i) the expected length of time between when the entity transfers the promised goods or services to the
customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services and (ii) the prevailing interest rates in the relevant market.
