IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition Guide
5 STAGES APPROACH
STAGE NO . 1 Identification of contract
STAGE NO . 2 Identification of performance obligation
STAGE NO. 3 Transaction price
STAGE NO. 4 Allocation of price to separate performance obligation
STAGE NO .5 Book revenue
IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACT
Legally Enforceable
Financial Position of Buyer
Financial Usage of Buyer
Past Practice
IDENTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE
OBLIGATION
The entity promise to provide that Customer gets the benefit of that goods/
goods/ service is separately identifiable service separately OR together with
from other goods in contract other goods
Means market has people in it - If both meets, then different Performance Obligations
providing these goods/ services
- If anyone meets, then single Performance Obligation
separately
- Now if IFRS-15, revenue from “Sale OR Return” can be booked through expectation (E.g. Hyper star)
(This was not allowed earlier in IAS-18)
- But if Rental possible, then you can’t book variable revenue E.g. Asset Management (Arif Habib,
because revenue dependent on stock market index)
- Also if there is a material gap between time of delivery of goods/ services and the time of payment,
then we need to consider “Significant Financing Component”
NOTE: Non-cash consideration (Other than cash) from customer will be recorded at its Fair value.
EXAMPLE 1: Goods/ Services sold today but payment after 2 years (2 [Link], 1. Goods, 2. Loan)
P.V of
Amount Received = 10,000 P.V = 11,000 12,100
EXAMPLE 2: Payment received today but Goods/ Services to be delivered after 2 years (In IFRS-15, Treat
this transaction as loan which will be invested in future. In IAS-18, this was treated as deferred income)
P.V of
Amount Received = 10,000 P.V = 11,000 12,100
Delivery of Goods
NOTE: If (assume) discounting is immaterial, then as per IFRS-15, future year’s income shall be booked
as deferred income.
Year 1:
Bank 480
Sales 281.5
Deferred income 198.5
Goods/ services are distinct & Goods/ services are not distinct
Prices charged of those goods/ services Prices charged for additional goods/
reflect standalone prices of those goods/ services does not reflect standalone
services (market price of extra work/ job prices of those goods/ services E.g. Big
Substance over Form: The economic substance of transactions and events must be recorded in the
financial statements rather than just their legal form in order to present a true and fair view of the affairs
of the entity.

Booking future profits in today’s books is overstating today’s profits and is treated as Fraud
in accounting!

Investment property is land or buildings held to earn rentals or for capital growth or both.
SCOPE/ APPLICATION:
Type Of Property Applicable Accounting Standard
Property bought for routine resale IAS–2
Property bought for use in business IAS–16
Construction of property for 3rd party IFRS–15
Construction of property for future owner occupied use (self- IAS–16
construction asset)
Construction of building for the future investment property IAS–40
Land bought but no use yet decided by management IAS–40
* Means One portion of the asset is used in business, and for the other portion you are earning rent.
ANCILLIARY SERVICES:
If ancillary services are insignificant and rental income is major, then IAS 40 applies on complete
property e.g. Dolmen Mall (only shops rented from where rental income is earned significantly)
If ancillary services are significant in comparison with rental income, then IAS 16 applies on
complete property E.g Hotels ( where they don’t just earn from rooms , they have other services
like pick & drop, marriage hall, laundry services , from where they earn more than rent)
NOTE: If IAS-40 (Whichever model i.e. Cost or F.V Model) is applied on one investment property, then it
will be applied on all other Investment properties. (I.e. if one property on cost model then the rest of
properties are also to be kept on cost model).
CHANGING MODELS:
Change is allowed if that change increases relevance & reliability of Financial Statements.
Standard says that it is highly unlikely that a change from Fair Value Model to Cost Model will increase
relevance & reliability.
Model’s Change will always be treated as Change In Accounting Policy
CHANGE IN USE: If a property was first used in own business (E.g. MHA Institute), but later it was rented
out, then it means IAS-16 will be applied first and then after Change in use IAS-40 will apply.
If cost Model is used in IAS-40: Simply transfer the carrying value at the date of change in use to other
standard (IAS-16). Only change the name of IAS. Cost model treatment is same in both IASs.
II. IAS-40 to IAS-16: Revalue the property at the date of change in use using IAS-40 and then shift it
to IAS-16. Now, calculate remaining life of asset and then depreciate.
1. Finance Lease: A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the party using the asset. In some cases legal ownership is transferred at the end of the
lease. It is like a bought asset on loan. It’s normally for the major life of asset. In Finance lease, repairs
& insurance are responsibility of lessee.
Entry: PPE XXX
Finance Lease Obligation XXX
As Finance lease is a loan, that’s why lease rentals paid are treated as repayment of loan.
2. Operating Lease: An operating lease is any lease other than a finance lease. It is like taking an asset
on rent. Where;
No Rent
No FLO
Complete rental is booked as expense.
It’s for a short period of time
Repairs & insurance are responsibility of lessor.
LESSEE’S BOOKS
(With New Changes)
New Treatment: For lessee, all leases should now be treated as Finance Leases according to New IFRS
I.e.
IFRS – 16. Except;
1. Lease with Lease term of less than 12 months.
2. Low value assets (Immaterial value, not defined in exact nos. by Framework).
According to New IFRS (Asset & obligation should be booked/ recognized at any cost);
Entry: Right to Use Asset XXX [Depreciate]
Finance Lease Obligation XXX [P.V of lease Obligation (P.V of M.L.P) (L.A.S)]
Off Balance Sheet Financing (Fraud): An Asset having a life of 10 years, this asset is taken on an
operating lease of 3 years Obligation should therefore be booked.
Off Balance Sheet Financing means to take loan without reporting/ recognizing any liability against it. E.g
Airlines.
NOTE: Right to use Asset is booked on the basis of P.V of future cash flows.
NOTE: If first payment now I.e. at the start of Year 1, Decrease in obligation will be done on Day 1. It
should be treated as pure decrease in loan.
2. If the asset is not expected to be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease, then
depreciate it on the lower of;
I. Lease Term
II. Life of Asset
NOTE: Life of asset can be lower than lease term if lessee wants to pay lower rentals.
1. If the sale meets the Criteria of IFRS-15 (I.e. Life = 20 Yrs., Lease term = 4 Yrs.):
– I.e. Performance Obligation Satisfied, then de-recognize the asset.
– Book right to use the asset according to the interest retained.
– Book gain on disposal to the extent of sale.
2. If sale doesn’t meet the Criteria of IFRS-15 (I.e. Life = 20 Yrs., Lease term = 20 Yrs.):
– I.e. no risks and rewards have been transferred
– Then no need to de-recognize asset
– Just book entire transaction as a loan.
– No Right to use
– No gain/loss on disposal.
E.g. When an asset is sold and leased back where asset has life of 10 years, and we leased it back
for 3 years, then right to use will be booked according to retention I.e. (3/10 = 30%)
RIGHT TO USE ASSET (Retained) Carrying Value of Asset at the Date of Disposal X [P.V of
Lease Obligation – Extra loan + Prepayments/ F.V of Asset]
Criteria of IFRS-16:
- Specific Asset I.e. Asset should be exclusively identified in the agreement (Asset should be the
same one which is identified in the agreement)
- Right to use or right to control the use must be transferred to lessee (there must be major/
significant rights transferred).
- Transfer should be made in exchange of a consideration.
Read IFRS Box IFRS 16 ILMI MASLA (Link shared by Sir Mustafa)
ILMI MASLA: In old IAS (IAS-17), Building with life of 100 years is when taken on lease, for 3 years, is
an operating lease.
Also, if landlord is giving an asset i.e. room for rent for $20,000 and also maintenance expense for $5000
as well. There, in old P&L, both costs were expensed out in a single entry.
Entry: P&L 25000
Cash 25000
But in new IFRS, all leases are finance leases in which all rentals are not expensed out, but repayment of
rental in which only principal and interest is paid.
Therefore, separate accounting will be done, in this case, by apportionment of lease rental & maintenance
expense.
Apportionment will be done on the basis of standalone prices of 1. Lease Payment 2. Maintenance Exp.

Residual Values
If lessor has an expectation that lessee will make a very bad use of his asset, then;
1. Guaranteed Residual Value (GRV): I.e. Scrap value guaranteed by lessee or any party
related to lessee
2. Unguaranteed Residual Value (UGRV): Portion of scrap value not guaranteed by lessee
NOTE: If nothing is mentioned in question, then assume that the asset is sold for Zero and the lessee
will need to pay the GRV.
Case E.g. If asset value is $20000 where the GRV given is $12000 and UGRV is 8000.
If lessor is giving asset on 0% interest rate, then calculate Present Value of Minimum Lease Payment
using Market Interest Income.
Entry: Finance Lease Receivable XXX
Sales XXX
And now record Interest Income throughout the life using Market Interest Rate.
NOTE:
1. Recording Future’s profits in today’s books is a crime in accounting
2. If two unknown parties are doing a transaction, they will do it at at least Market Interest Rate.
3. When products cannot be sold, then they are given on a discounted price. This discount is called
as Trade discount which decreases your sales (FLOP product). Trade discount always drops/ hits
your today’s sale (Sales Income Now).
2. Case #2:
Car part (Lessor) Customer (Lessee)
Entry: Finance Lease Receivable XXX
Machine XXX
Guaranteed Number of Seats. Car part purchases an asset/ machine (A Specific Asset) to fulfill
the order.
If customer cancels the deal, then customer will pay the remaining Value of Machine.
Car part cannot use this machine for any other customer
(E.g Honda is going to manufacture a car that will fly. We will make a special plant for this
Honda’s Car seat and we take a deal/ promise by Honda that they will buy 20 Mn. Units from us)
Therefore risk & rewards/ right to control the asset have been transferred in this case.
Therefore it is a leasing arrangement & the asset is specific.
The Leasing of machine will be in form of rentals.
Entry: Bank XXX
Finance Lease Receivable XXX
Interest Income XXX
(The remaining will be booked as Sales)
Substance Over Form: Transaction by the looks of it looks something else and in actuality is something
else (different).
This loan will be unwinded in next 2 years (Discount rate used will be the same for unwinding
which was used on the time of Discounting).
Deferred income will be transferred to Rental Income account over 2 years.
Also for these cases, no intention of resale, that is why they will be re-classified from Inventory
to PPE.
Also, these cars will be depreciated according to usage pattern.
As the customer is using car for 2 years out of 5 years, therefore this lease will be an
Operating Lease for Car Part.
Definition: A share-based transaction is one in which the entity transfers equity instruments, such
as share options, in exchange for goods and services supplied by employees or third parties.
IFRS 2 requires an entity to reflect the effects of share-based payments in its financial statements.
Criticism: There are four criticisms that were put forth when this IFRS came in;
No cost, therefore No change
Expense does not meet the definition of framework
EPS hits twice
Adverse Economic Consequence
Buying of Goods:
Inventory XXX
Equity XXX
III. Option:
a. If Option is with Employee: The employee has an option to take shares or cash equivalent
of shares after agreed(X) no. of years.
NOTE: All share based payment transactions are recorded at Fair Value. In addition to this,
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement does not apply to share-based payment transactions within
the scope of IFRS 2.
Measurement:
Direct Measurement (Pehla Darja): This measurement type can be used when in the deal of exchange,
F.V of the goods can be maintained. Therefore, record transactions at the fair value of goods received.
It is normally applied in case of goods/ machine.
Indirect Measurement (Majboori): If F.V of goods/ services received cannot be calculated, then record
transaction on the F.V of equity Instrument transferred E.g Employee services (Here we will work on the
F.V of our shares given to Employee).
Entry: Machine XXX
Equity/ Share capital XXX
Difference between Shares & Share Options: Share means actual shares (In essence/ Soul, E.g.
Marriage). But share options will be given in future upon fulfillment of certain conditions (E.g. Engagement).
GRANT
1. Unconditional Grant: No services are needed in future for this grant. It is given without any
conditions. Complete expense needs to be booked immediately once this grant is given.
2. Conditional Grant: It depends upon a number of conditions. In this case, the expense has to be
booked over the life of vesting period.
a. Service Condition (Stay for X no. of years in service, then you will qualify):
Must be checked & revised at the end of each reporting date.
Stay for Minimum no. of years
If not fulfilled in the end, then Reverse Expense in P&L
SPBR XXX
P&L XXX
b. Performance Condition:
I) Performance Non-Market Condition:
Other than share price (Performance target)
E.g. Sales target, EPS target, passing rate , Inventory control, profit target
Must be checked and revised at the end of each reporting date
If not fulfilled at the end, then Reverse Expense in P&L
Vesting Date: The date on which the employee meets/ qualifies the agreed conditions.
Vesting Period: It is the difference between grant date & vesting date.
NOTE: In equity settled share based payments, ALWAYS use Fair value of option at the Grant Date to
record expense (No revision is done in Equity, if after Grant Date F.V changes, we will not take account for
those changes. F.V will be locked at grant date.
NOTE: If target (Share Price) not achieved, then transfer the whole expense within equity.
Entry: Share Base Payment Reserve XXX
Retained Earnings XXX
NOTE: If Service condition OR performance non-market condition is not achieved, then reversal has to be
booked in P&L.
Entry: Share Base Payment Reserve XXX
P&L XXX
CANCELLATION
CASE # 1: Cancellation without Settlement: Under this case, transfer is done within equity.
Entry: Share Base Payment Reserve XXX
Retained Earnings XXX
CASE # 2: Cancellation with Settlement: It should be treated like company is buying back its own
shares which is called as “Treasury Shares”*.
If settlement price is more than the F.v of shares at the settlement date, then excess of settlement price
over fair value is treated as “Compensation Expense”.
Entry: Equity 20
P&L 3
Cash 23
Practical Advice: If performance non-market target is given to employees, then we should not cancel the
option since if target doesn’t meet, then all expense goes to P&L as reversal (Income). Therefore, we
should not cancel if we know that employee will not meet the non-market condition.
MODIFICATION
a) If Beneficial for Employee:
Treat it as a separate Contract
Just book expense on the basis of Incremental Fair Value (Later cost to be borne by
Employer) at the date of modification & spread it over remaining vesting period.
o Where;
INCREMENTAL F.V = F.V just after modification - F.V just before modification
3. Share Appreciation Rights - With a cash settled transaction, the employee receives a bonus based
upon the entity’s share price. This bonus may also be referred to as ‘Share Appreciation Rights’.
SCOPE OF IFRS – 2
3. Share based payment transactions that fall under the scope of IAS 32/ IAS 39/ IFRS
9 are out of scope of IFRS – 2 (IFRS – 2 only applies when payment is done in form of shares
or equivalent cash for receiving goods and services. A dangerous activity is done in Pakistan
which is called Net Cash Settlement. It is a derivative and is used for speculation E.g. Sugar
booked in a forward contract for three months with no intention of physical delivery. Derivative
comes under scope of IFRS 9, not IFRS 2)
HINTS:
1. The agreement allows Net Cash Settlement
2. Past practice of Net Cash Settlement
3. The entity sells shortly just after delivery
4. The underlying item itself is a cash equivalent (Cash equivalent Not Sugar, wheat, flour. The
instrument booked (good) is a cash equivalent of prize bond. Hence IFRS 2 will not apply, rather
IFRS 9 will apply).
If intention of physical delivery in ordinary course of business & paying in
entity’s own shares, then IFRS – 2 is applied!
If a certain target is given to subsidiary by parent Co, and on achieving the target, parent company will
give its shares in return
It is an Investment for the controlling people/ parent co. / shareholders/ owners
Entry: Investment XXX
Share Base Payment Reserve XXX
Here, the employees of Subsidiary Co. will be motivated to work when they’ll get shares of P. Co. for
achieving a certain target. Therefore, they will work and earn for S. Co. bringing in more revenue for
Sub. Co. therefore, matching principle will apply for booked revenue against expense.
It is an Equity Settled SBP for S. CO. because of matching principle.
Entry: P&L XXX
Equity XXX
1. If Replacement is Mandatory:
Then it is part of CoI (Cost of Investment) (IFRS-3), part of consideration.
*E.g.: (S. Co. says to its employees that stay with us for 4 years and we will give you $30 Mn. Shares,
but after 4 years P. Co. Takes over the S. Co. on the same day when S. Co. had to give its shares to its
Employees)
Important NOTES: When buying any product/ asset against shares, IFRS-2 applies
When issuing shares to employees who are existing shareholders i.e. in the capacity of
shareholder, IFRS-2 does not apply.
When buying any good/ services and in return you give your own co. shares OR shares of a co.
in your group of companies OR you pay cash equivalent to these shares, only these come under scope of
IFRS-2
NOTE: Giving shares of any other company (not in our Group) comes under the scope of IAS-19.

Onerous Contracts: Onerous contracts are where the Signed + unavoidable cost of fulfilling the
Contract outweighs the benefit that will be received. The excess unavoidable costs should therefore be
provided for. E.g. 2 years Non-cancellable leases recorded at lower of;
Penalty
P.V of future rentals
Restructuring Costs: (same old criteria as for provisions (3)) should only be provided when there is a
constructive obligation, programmed, planned and controlled by management. It includes scope of
business and manner in which business is conducted.
E.g. Delayering, closure of business locations, conversion of labor intensive to capital intensive
II. Creates valid expectation through Announcement or by Starting Restructuring that includes an
announcement to those affected by the restructuring and;
a. Restructuring provision only for directly attributable cost arising because of
restructuring (If 20 Rs, then 20 Rs provision, not 40 Rs.) E.g. Redundancy cost, Penalties
b. No Restructuring provision for ongoing costs E.g. Training Cost OR Staff Relocation Cost
Contingent Liabilities/ Possible Obligation: It is an obligation that arises from past events and whose
existence will only be confirmed by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
uncertain future events, not wholly within the Entity’s control.
It is a very much uncertain liability, whose recognition criteria is not met. Therefore, no entry/ recognition

5. Onerous Contracts
On Agricultural Produce: IAS-41applies on it but only until it is with biological assets. But after getting
away/ out from the biological asset, it goes into scope of IAS-2.
IAS 41 will not apply on land where animals are kept/ fruits are cultivated. Here, if land is owned, IAS-16
will apply & if it is rented, then IAS-40 will apply.
NOTE: From the day of Harvest onwards, IAS – 2 will apply. No changes from here onwards will be taken
to P&L because no recording is done on F.V* and IAS-41 has finished. Therefore, on the day of harvest,
the F.V will be taken as cost of that day under IAS-2. If F.V further goes upward, it will still be recorded
at cost (I.e. Lower of cost & NRV).
* Here if F.V is not given, we will calculate F.V by the help of Level-3 (IFRS-13), IFRS-3 using market
based factors and by the viewpoint of participants, we will calculate the F.V.
NOTE: If at initial recognition, company is not able to calculate F.V, then we can record biological asset at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss (not the case now, since IFRS-13 is available (3
levels). But once fair value is calculated, then we can’t revert back to cost. This exemption of cost less
acc. depreciation is only allowed at initial recognition.
NOTE: Re-capping IFRS-13 which is used in more than 20 accounting standards, where F.V is calculated
from the view point of Market Participants (as it promotes Market Based Factors and discourages Entity
Based Factors), even if the agricultural property is owned, even then Notional Rent/Assumed Rent is

Definition:
Related party transaction: A transfer of resources (goods), services or obligations (loans) between related
parties, regardless of whether a price is charged.
Disclosure required about related parties only if transactions have taken place between them
during the period:
o The nature of the relationship (but remember this always must be disclosed in respect of a
parent)
o The amount of the transactions (probably disclosure of an underpriced or normal market value
(arm’s length) transaction
o The amount of any balance outstanding at the year end
o The terms and conditions attaching to any outstanding balance (for example security or
guarantees have been provided and what form the payment will take)
o If an amount has been provided (provision for doubtful debt) against or written off any
outstanding balance due
Disclosure of the fact that transactions are on an arm’s length basis

Key Management Personnel & their companies are RPs for the organization. And Disclosure is must for RP
transactions!
EXAMPLE # 4:

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL: Those who are directly (EDs) or Indirectly (NEDs) involved in
planning, control & decision making of the organization.
NOTE: Even if within related parties, transactions is done on market basis, still disclosure is must.
Disclosure is must in both cases i.e. whether transaction is done on normal market value basis or undervalue
basis.
NOTE: If a company has 3 boards, then all directors’ (e.g. 8 directors) in each board individual benefit
shall not be disclosed, but the total benefit given to total directors (8) should be provided in F.S in following
breakup;
Short term Benefits
Long term Benefits
Post-Employment Benefits
Termination Benefits
Share options (IFRS-2)
NOTE: “In case of government, its subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries, there is an exemption from routine
disclosures. You just need to disclose significant transactions during the year and relationship between
RPs.”
NOTE: Segment wise reporting is extremely beneficial for Shareholders because it provides detailed
information.
4. 75% test:
75% test is based on “External Revenue”
Aggregation is “PERMITTED” but not required. It is only allowed if segments have same characteristics
and shares and they can be viewed together for the purpose of the size criteria.
(Aggregation means adding up two or more segments together to make one single segment).
MAJORITY of Aggregation Criteria like;
1. Type of Product (Same)
2. Raw material used (Same)
3. Production Process (Same)
4. Distribution Channel (Same)
5. Same regulatory body.
NOT ALL CRITERIA SHOULD MEET BUT MAJORITY OF THE 5 ABOVE!
NOTE: If a segment was less than 10% last year, but this year it is more than 10%, so now it is separately
reportable. So now you need to show this segment in last year comparatives.
NOTE: If in any segment, a single customer’s revenue is 10% or more than total revenue of the
organization, then it needs to be disclosed.

Redemption Premium: It will be spread over the life of the loan by using effective interest rate.
Discount: by name is a discount, but actually it is an expense which will also be spread over the life of
the loan.
Issue Cost: Issue cost is expensed initially which will also be spread over the life of the loan as it is an
expense.
Physical Interest: Physical interest is interest paid each year by using coupon/ cash interest rate.
Amortization Table will start from Net Cash (i.e. face value after deducting/ netting discount & issue

4. Physical Interest Payable/ Receivable
Financial Instrument: is any contract that generates a “Financial Asset” for one entity & “Financial
Liability” (E.g. Loan Notes) OR “Equity Instrument” (E.g. Ordinary shares) of other entity.
Warranty provisions are not normally Financial Liabilities (99% cases not, it is a F.L)
Income tax liabilities are statutory obligation (Not contractual obligation) that’s why not a financial
liability.
Redeemable Preference Shares are a financial liability.
Ordinary Shares are not a financial liability.
Cash dividend is not a financial liability.

IF loan is invested in any investment where it is recorded at F.V i.e. asset side recorded at F.V, then

Fair Value of both financial asset and financial liability are dependent on Interest rates (Correlation)
But in properties, on liability side, it is not only dependent on interest rates as properties have various
factors on which it is dependent.
Changes in Fair Value of loan, because of changes in Market interest rates will be booked in “P&L”
Changes in Fair Value of loan, because of changes in “Entity’s Own Creditworthiness” will be
booked in “OCI”
GAMBLING HEDGING

Hedge Instrument: Derivative which is used to minimize risk of that hedged item. E.g.;
Futures
Options
Interest rate swaps
Forward Contracts
Accounting Treatment: In F.V hedge accounting, both Hedge Item and Hedging Instrument are recorded
at fair values with changes taken to “P&L”.
NOTE: When hedge accounting starts, all other IASs are kept aside. Before starting hedge accounting,
permission needs to be taken from auditors. (Ref. E.g. Inventory not recorded at lower of cost or NRV
but F.V)
Accounting Treatment: Normally in Cash Flow hedge accounting, only Hedge Instrument is recorded in
the books. Hedge item will come in future. That’s why F.V gain/loss of hedging instrument is parked in
OCI today. & it will be re-classified to P&L, when hedge item will come in future.
1. IF F.V change of Hedge Item > F.V change of Hedge Instrument Then;
Future gain/loss of Hedge Instrument will be recognized in OCI.
2. If highly probable forecast transaction is not expected to occur, then we will simply transfer all
existing gain/ loss on hedging instrument from OCI to P&L because there is nothing to match in
future.
NOTE:
Closing of hedging instrument contract (Forward Market Contract) will only have two reasons i.e. above two
points.
Effective Hedge is where the entries of Hedge Item & Hedge Instrument are exactly the same or very near. Not like
below Hedge i.e.
HEDGE ITEM Entry: Inventory 100,000
P&L 100,000
HEDGE INSTRUMENT Entry: P&L 2,000
Derivative. Liability 2,000
As per IAS 39’s criteria of effectiveness, the % foe an effective hedge should be in Between 80% to 125%. However,
IFRS 9 has not defined any % criteria for effective but says that entries should be same or near.

The entity promise to provide that Customer gets the benefit of that goods/
goods/ service is separately identifiable service separately OR together with
from other goods in contract other goods
Means market has people in it - If both meets, then different Performance Obligations
providing these goods/ services
- If anyone meets, then single Performance Obligation
separately
- Now if IFRS-15, revenue from “Sale OR Return” can be booked through expectation (E.g. Hyper star)
(This was not allowed earlier in IAS-18)
- But if Rental possible, then you can’t book variable revenue E.g. Asset Management (Arif Habib,
because revenue dependent on stock market index)
- Also if there is a material gap between time of delivery of goods/ services and the time of payment,
then we need to consider “Significant Financing Component”
NOTE: Non-cash consideration (Other than cash) from customer will be recorded at its Fair value.
EXAMPLE 1: Goods/ Services sold today but payment after 2 years (2 [Link], 1. Goods, 2. Loan)
P.V of
Amount Received = 10,000 P.V = 11,000 12,100
EXAMPLE 2: Payment received today but Goods/ Services to be delivered after 2 years (In IFRS-15, Treat
this transaction as loan which will be invested in future. In IAS-18, this was treated as deferred income)
P.V of
Amount Received = 10,000 P.V = 11,000 12,100

NOTE: If (assume) discounting is immaterial, then as per IFRS-15, future year’s income shall be booked
as deferred income.

D.T.A, due to unused tax losses, can only be recognized, if it is probable that they will set off
future taxable profits. In some jurisdictions, there is an expiry date of unused losses. In that
case, it must be probable that future taxable profits arises before the expiry date.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
In any case, D.T.A can only be booked, if it’s probable that company will get tax benefit
Any change in D.T.A or D.T.L is adjusted prospectively
D.T.A & D.T.L can be offset, if company has legal & enforceable right to offset current tax
payment
That’s why normally, D.T.A in P. Co.’s books and D.T.L in S. Co.’s books can’t offset each other.
For deferred tax, use those tax rates which are enacted before reporting date.
REASONS FOR DIFFERENCE IN ACTUAL TAX RATE & EFFECTIVE TAX RATE
At 30 September 20X8, the equity instrument was still worth $900,000 but the entity became
worried about the risk of a decline in value. It therefore entered into a futures contract to sell
the shares for $900,000 is six month time. It identified the futures contract to sell the shares for
$900,000 in six months time. It identified the futures contract as a hedging instrument as part
of a fair value hedging arrangement. The fair value hedge was correctly documented and
designated upon initial recognition. All effectiveness criteria have been complied with.
By the reporting date of 31 December 20X8, the fair value of the equity instrument had fallen
to $800,000, and the fair value of the futures contract had risen by $90,000.
REQUIRED:
Explain the accounting treatment of the fair value hedge arrangement based upon available
information.
Q. Grayton (whose functional currency is the $) decided in January that is will need to buy an
item of plant in one year time for KR 200,000 in one year time for the fixed sum of $100,000.
The fair value of this contract at inception is zero and is designated as a hedging instrument
At Grayton’s year end on 31 July, the KR has depreciated and the value of KR 200,000 is
$90,000. It remains at the value until the plant is bought.
1) There must be an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
1) There must be an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
For example if the price of a share falls below $10 the fair value of a futures contract to sell the
share for $ 10 rises.
2) The affect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic
relationship.
Credit risk may lead to erratic fair value movements in either the hedged item or the hedging
instrument. For Example, if the country party of a derivative experiences a decline in credit
worthiness, the fair value of the derivative (the hedging instrument) may fall substantially. This
movement is unrelated to changes in the fair value of the item and would lead to hedge in
effectiveness.
3) The hedge ratio of the hedging relation is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the
hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that
the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
For example, an entity may have 100 kg of gold but it chooses to enter into futures contracts to
fix the selling price of only 90 kg. the relationship between the 90 kg of inventory and the
quantity of derivative contracts actually entered into is hedged ratio. The designation of the
hedged item and the edging instrument must reflect that ratio.
However any imbalance between the quantity of the hedged item and the hedging instrument
must not create ineffectiveness that is inconsistent with the purpose of hedge accounting.
