IFRS 15 is fully converged with equivalent new US GAAP guidance (although,
unlike IFRS, US GAAP does not permit adoption before 2017), and contains
significantly more prescriptive and precise requirements in comparison with
existing IFRS. This means that for many entities, the timing and profile of
revenue recognition will change. In some areas the changes will be very
significant and will require careful planning, including for commercial effects.
