1. Core Principle and Scope
The unified revenue standard establishes a single, comprehensive framework for determining when, how much, and how revenue is recognized. Its core principle dictates that an entity must recognize 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.
This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for leases (IFRS 16 / ASC 842), financial instruments (IFRS 9 / ASC 325), insurance contracts, and non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales.
2. The 5-Step Sequential Roadmap
To achieve compliance, entities must systematically apply the following five steps:
