New Projects in IFRS Revenue from Contracts with customers (Joint Proposal under consideration) Uniform revenue recognition in complex transactions such as long term service contracts and multiple element arrangements A company should recognise revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer. A good or service is transferred to a customer when the customer obtains control of that good or service.

New Projects in IFRS (Contd…) Revenue from Contracts with customers (Contd…) (Joint Proposal under consideration) When multiple elements / contracts are bundled together, apply the following steps Identify the contract(s) with the customer Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract Determine the transaction price Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation

New Projects in IFRS (Contd…) Leases (Joint Proposal under consideration) According to the World Leasing Yearbook 2010, leasing activity in 2008 amounted to US$ 640 billion. However, the assets and liabilities arising from many of those contracts are not shown in a lessee’s Statement of Financial Position (Balance sheet) In the books of Lessee New project envisages that a lessee would recognise a liability to make lease payments and a corresponding right to use asset upon lease commencement

New Projects in IFRS (Contd…) Leases (Joint Proposal under consideration) (Contd…) In the books of Lessor There was a proposal to adopt “the receivable and residual approach” (i.e. to allocate the carrying value of underlying asset being leased between the right of use granted to the lessee and the residual asset. However, at present the consensus is against this approach in the books of lessor.
