The 5-step revenue recognition model
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
5
Recognise revenue to depict transfer of goods or services in an amount of consideration to which expected to be entitled
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
Recognise revenue when (as) a performance obligation is satisfied

5
Existence of a contract
• Must meet specified criteria to apply the model
Combine contracts
• Negotiated as a package
• Linked consideration
• Goods or services form one performance obligation
Contract modifications
• Separate contract if add distinct goods/services at standalone selling price
• Prospective if remaining goods/services distinct
• Otherwise, cumulative catch-up
Step 1: Identify the contract
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
6
Promise to transfer a distinct good or service
• On its own
• Together with other readily available goods or services (including those previously acquired from entity)
Customer can benefit from
good or service
• No significant service of integrating the good or service
• Good or service is not highly dependent on or interrelated with other goods or services
Promised good or service is
separable from other promises
Step 2: Identify performance obligations
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org

Step 3: Determine transaction price
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
8
Amount of consideration to which entity expects to be entitled
in exchange for goods or services
Variable
consideration
Significant
financing
Payable to
customer
Non-cash
consideration
Adjust if timing
provides either
party with
significant
financing
benefit
Measure at fair
value unless
cannot be
reasonably
estimated
Reduction of the
TP unless in
exchange for a
distinct good or
service
Estimate using:
• Expected value
• Most likely
amount
But ‘constrained’
Step 3: Determine transaction price Constraining variable consideration
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
9
Include estimate of variable consideration in the
transaction price only if expect subsequent change to
estimate would not result in a significant reversal of
revenue
• Entity’s expectations of revenue reversal assessed using
indicators, eg
– Factors outside entity’s influence (market, 3rd-party
actions)
– Entity’s level of experience
– Length of time before uncertainty resolved
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
10
Allocate to each performance obligation the amount to
which entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
satisfying that performance obligation
• Relative standalone selling price basis
– estimate selling prices if not observable
– residual estimation techniques may be appropriate
• Discounts and contingent amounts allocated entirely to
specific performance obligation if specified criteria met
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (as) a performance obligation is satisfied
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
11
Performance obligation is satisfied by transferring good or service
Performance obligations satisfied over time if specified criteria met
Revenue is recognised by
measuring progress towards
complete satisfaction of the
performance obligation
• Clarified units produced or delivered may be a reasonable proxy in some cases
• Clarified input methods may need to be adjusted (eg uninstalled materials)
All other performance obligations satisfied at
point in time
Revenue is recognised at the point
in time when the customer obtains
control of the promised asset.
Indicators of control include:
• Present right to payment
• Legal title
• Physical possession
• Risks and rewards of ownership
• Customer acceptance
A performance obligation is satisfied over time (ie revenue recognised over
time) if one of three criteria met:
• The customer receives and consumes the benefits of the entity’s
performance as the entity performs – assessed by considering (hypothetically) whether another entity would need
to substantially re-perform the work completed to date if that other entity
were to fulfil the remaining obligation
• The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (eg WIP) that the
customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced
• The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative
use to the entity and the entity has a right to payment for performance
completed to date, and it expects to fulfil the contract as promised
Step 5: Performance obligations Satisfied over time

Disclosure requirements
13
Disaggregation of
revenue
13
Disclosure objective: To enable users of financial statements to
understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue
and cash flows arising from contracts with customers
Disaggregate revenue into categories that depict how
revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors
• When determining categories, consider: other
disclosures, information reviewed by chief operating
decision maker and other information used by entity
• Explain relationship with segment disclosures
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
14
IASB Disaggregation of revenue required in annual and
interim financial statements; otherwise general
principles of interim financial reporting apply
FASB All quantitative disclosures in annual and interim
Remaining
performance
obligations
Interim
requirements
14
Information about
contract balances
(formerly a
reconciliation)
A combination of qualitative and quantitative disclosures
• Opening and closing balances
• Amount of revenue recognised from contract liabilities
• Explanation of significant changes in contract balances
• Disclose aggregate amount of the transaction price
allocated to remaining performance obligations
• Quantitative or qualitative explanation of when
amounts will be recognised as revenue
Disclosure requirements continued

Contract costs
© IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
15
Costs of obtaining
a contract
Recognised as an
asset if:
• Incremental
• Expected to be
recovered
For example:
Selling
commissions
Costs of fulfilling
a contract
Recognised as an
asset if:
• Relates directly
• Relate to future
performance
• Expected to be
recovered
For example: Pre-
contract or setup
costs
Onerous contracts
Apply IAS 37

Impact of IFRS 15
compared to IASs 11 & 18
*contracts for which entity has not transferred all goods or services identified under IASs 11 & 18
Contracts restated
• IFRS 15 does not apply to contracts within scope of IFRS 9
• Limits number of activities affected, but none-the-less can be
significant: – Contracts which include variable fees
– Performance bonuses, penalties or structuring fees
– When upfront fees can be recognised as revenue
– Recognition of fees on signing of contracts
– Accounting for loyalty schemes
– Splitting out distinct goods and services
– Relative stand alone basis
– Capitalisation of costs
– Commissions, success ‘bonuses’
Some key effects Financial institutions

Some key effects Other industries 18
Sector Accounting
Construction
/ Aerospace
& Defence
• Revenue may be recognised over time (eg percentage of
completion) but ‘PO over time’ criteria must be met
• More discipline in cost-to-cost measures of performance
• Costs capitalised if result in resources to be used in
fulfilling contract, not to normalise margin
Telcos • Revenue recognised for ‘free’ handset, as well as for
airtime contract
Products • Revenue recognition deferred for some sales incentives
and incidental obligations
• Revenue deferred for some implicit product warranties

Some key effects Other industries 19
Sector Accounting
Software • Elimination of VSOE, so revenue can be recognised
when license transferred
• Revenue recognition for software development only if
‘PO over time’ criteria met
Media/
pharma
• Revenue may be recognised on transfer of licence, but
will need to consider if licence is right to use or right to
access
• Sales-based royalties recognised as sales occur
Asset
management
• Contingent fees based on index recognised only if highly
probable will not be reversed
