Q

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

A
  1. the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract;

Q

If a contract with a customer does not yet meet all of the above criteria

A

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

Q

series of distinct goods or services is transferred criteria

A
  1. 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

Q

Constraining the estimated variable consideration

A

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

Q

SIGNIFICANT FINANCING COMPONENT

A
  1. The difference, if any, between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods or
    services; and

Q

Measuring and recognising the financial component

A
  1. The significant financing component (will be recognized as interest over the period between performance and payment).
  2. And the transaction price (will be used to recognize revenue from contract with customers as per the 5-step revenue recognition model)
  3. For a deferred/arrear payment: Promised consideration – significant financing component = transaction price
20
Q

Exceptions for significant financial component

A
  1. The customer paid in advance and the timing of the transfer is at the discretion of the customer
    A substantial amount of the consideration varies on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event that is not within the control of the customer or entity
21
Q

One-year practical expedient (SFC)

A

An entity does not have to account for the significant financing component if the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

22
Q

Advance payment vs Arrear/Deferred Payment

A
  1. When a customer pays in arrears, the entity is providing finance to the customer and will therefore recognize an interest income.
  2. A significant financing component can also exist when the customer pays in advance and the performance (delivery of goods/services) takes place in the future.
  3. In this case it is the customer who is providing finance to the entity. The entity will therefore recognize an interest expense.
23
Q

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts

A

an entity will allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract by reference to their relative standalone selling prices.

24
Q

How to allocate the transaction price

A
  1. Estimation of standalone selling price when it is not directly observable
  2. Discounts (if the discount relates to some, but not all performance obligations) NB FOR ACC3AB
  3. Variable consideration (if the variable consideration relates to some but not all performance obligations.
25
Q

standalone selling prices

A

They are based on the observable price of the good or service when the entity sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers
If it is not directly observable, the entity will need to estimate it.

26
Q

Allocating a discount

A

When the sum of the standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services in the contract exceeds the transaction price,
Allocated on a proportional basis to all of the performance obligations in the contract, based on given or easily determinable standalone selling prices.

27
Q

Criteria for allocating discount

A
  1. The entity sells each distinct good or service in the contract on a stand-alone basis
  2. The entity regularly sells, on a stand-alone basis, a bundle of some of those distinct goods or services at a discount to the stand-alone selling price of the good or services in each bundle
  3. the discount ascribed to each bundle is substantially the same as the discount in the contract
  4. an analysis of the goods or services in each bundle provides observational evidence of the performance obligation to which the entire discount in the contract belongs
28
Q

Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

A

When the customer is given control of the asset

29
Q

Control of the asset

A
  1. the customer has the ability to direct the use of the asset
  2. the customer has the ability to receive substantially all the remaining benefits from the asset
30
Q

Way to satisfy performance obligations

A

At a point in time
Over a period of time

31
Q

Performance obligation satisfied over time

A
  1. the customer simultaneously receives and consumes all of the benefits provided by the entity as the entity performs;
  2. the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created; or
  3. 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.
32
Q

recognises revenue over time

A

Based on the measure of progress which can either by
i. the input method: based on goods/services PRODUCED; results of appraisals, milestones reached or units produced
ii. the output method: based upon the entity’s EFFORTS and INPUTS: resources consumed, labour hours expended, costs incurred or time lapsed

33
Q

Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time

A

When the customer obtains control of the assets in terms of the ability to
i. DIRECT THE USE of the asset
ii. RECEIVE THE BENEFIT from the asset

34
Q

recognise revenue at a point in time criteria

A
  1. The customer has a PRESENT OBLIGATION to pay for the asset
  2. The customer has ACCEPTED the asset
  3. The customer has significant RISKS and REWARDS of ownership of the asset
  4. The customer has PHYSICAL POSSESSION of the asset
  5. The customer has LEGAL TITLE to the asset
35
Q

Contract costs

A

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract must be recognised as an asset if the entity expects to recover those costs.

36
Q

Incremental costs

A

costs that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Capitalization is amortized on a systematic basis

marketing costs, legal costs, sales commission paid, etc.

37
Q

Costs to fulfill a contract

A
  1. the costs relate DIRECTLY to a contract (or a specific anticipated contract);
  2. the costs GENERATE or ENHANCE resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and
  3. the costs are expected to be RECOVERED
38
Q

Costs not recognised as an asset and are Expended in IFRS 15

A
  1. General and administrative costs (unless these costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract)
  2. cost of wasted material, labour or other resources
  3. costs that relate to satisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations (i.e. costs that relate to past performance); and
  4. costs for which the entity cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to unsatisfied performance obligations or satisfied performance obligations or partially satisfied performance obligations
39
Q

Amortization and impairment

A

Amortised on a SYSTEMATIC BASIS; accounted for as a change in estimate in accordance with IAS 8 after updating significant changes
Tested for impairment in terms of IAS16

40
Q
