1 The objective of this Standard is to establish the principles that an entity
shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements
about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash
flows arising from a contract with a customer.
Meeting the objective
2 To meet the objective in paragraph 1, the core principle of this Standard is that
an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
3 An entity shall consider the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and
circumstances when applying this Standard. An entity shall apply this Standard,
including the use of any practical expedients, consistently to contracts with
similar characteristics and in similar circumstances.
4 This Standard specifies the accounting for an individual contract with a
customer. However, as a practical expedient, an entity may apply this Standard
to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics
if the entity reasonably expects that the effects on the financial statements of
applying this Standard to the portfolio would not differ materially from
applying this Standard to the individual contracts (or performance obligations)
within that portfolio. When accounting for a portfolio, an entity shall use
estimates and assumptions that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio.
Scope
5 An entity shall apply this Standard to all contracts with customers, except the
following:
(a) lease contracts within the scope of IAS 17 Leases;
(b) insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts;
(c) financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within
the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements
and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures; and
(d) non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to
facilitate sales to customers or potential customers. For example, this
Standard would not apply to a contract between two oil companies that
agree to an exchange of oil to fulfil demand from their customers in
different specified locations on a timely basis.
