CR – May 2023 – L3 – Q4a – Revenue Recognition (IFRS 15)

Discuss the criteria for a contract to fall under IFRS 15 for revenue recognition.

There has been significant divergence in practice over the recognition of revenue, mainly because International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) contain limited guidance in certain areas. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as a result of its joint project with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), has issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

IFRS 15 sets out a five-step model, which applies to revenue earned from a contract with a customer with limited exceptions, regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry. Step one in the five-step model requires the identification of the contract with the customer and is critical for the purpose of applying the standard. The remaining four steps in the standard’s revenue recognition model are irrelevant if the contract does not fall within the scope of IFRS 15.

Required:

Discuss the criteria which must be met for a contract with a customer to fall within the scope of IFRS 15. (10 Marks)

CR – May 2019 – L3 – Q5c – Regulatory framework and ethics

The question asks for four reasons why the IASB found it necessary to revise the conceptual framework, as part of its effort to improve financial reporting.

The Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements was originally issued in 1989. In 2004, the IASB and the FASB decided to review and revise the conceptual framework. However, this decision changed priorities and the slow progress in the project led to the project being abandoned in 2010. This was after only Phase A of the original joint project was finalized and introduced into the existing framework as Chapters 1 and 3 in September 2010.
The current form of the conceptual framework as at May 2018 provides a revised and complete version of the framework.

Required:
Explain FOUR (4) primary reasons why the IASB believed it was necessary to revise its conceptual framework. (4 marks)

The 2018 Navrongo financial statements should be prepared using the proposed new accounting standard on the basis of voluntary early adoption of the new standard.”
