Study Notes

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Definition and Scope

Revenue represents income from an entity's ordinary activities, reflecting consideration for goods/services transfer. It differs from gains (other income items) and income (encompassing both revenue and gains).
PFRS 15 applies to revenue from contracts with customers, excluding lease contracts (PFRS 16), insurance contracts (PFRS 17), financial instruments (PFRS 9, 10, 11, PAS 27, 28), and non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business facilitating customer sales.
A contract is an agreement creating enforceable rights and obligations; it can be written, oral, or implied.
A customer is a party contracting to obtain goods/services from an entity's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.

Five-Step Approach to Revenue Recognition

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with the customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

Performance Obligations: Point in Time vs. Over Time

Point in Time: Revenue is recognized when the entity completely satisfies the performance obligation. Control transfers to the customer. Five indicators determine this: The customer obtains control, the entity's performance creates an asset the customer controls, the entity doesn't have significant performance obligations remaining, the customer accepts the asset, and the entity has no right to substitute the asset.
Over Time: Revenue is recognized over time if the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the performance as the entity performs, or if the entity's performance creates an asset that the customer controls; and the entity doesn’t have significant remaining performance obligations. Progress toward completion is measured using methods like cost-to-cost or units-of-delivery.

Transaction Price Allocation

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation. If the standalone selling price (SSP) is available, it's used. If not, estimates are used, employing approaches like adjusted market assessment, estimated cash plus margin, or residual. Non-cash considerations (goods, services) are valued at fair value, and consideration payable to customers reduces revenue.

Key Differences Between PAS 18/11 and PFRS 15

PAS 18/11 used separate models for sales of goods, services, and royalties, focusing on risks and rewards. Expected value or the most likely amount was used for revenue recognition.
PFRS 15 uses a single model for performance obligations, satisfied either over time or at a point in time, focusing on control transfer.
