Paper Presenter
Revenue recognition and measurement is crucial to reporting financial
performance. In recent years, different entities operating within the same
business sector have adopted varying practices for revenue recognition,
which has led to marked variations in the timing and measurement of
revenue and hence profit. Aggressive earnings management policies have
resulted in questionable revenue recognition practices
An effective and credible accounting standard on revenue isessential to ensure capital market confidence in corporatereporting, which is the purpose of this standards.
BFRS 15 ….. Business Context & background
Mahamud Hosain FCA
- provides a single, principles based five-step model ;
Specific & improved guidelines of BFRS 15
- guide how and when an entity shall recognise revenue;
- require more informative, relevant disclosures.
- Methodical approach (similar to FASB Guidelines)
Mahamud Hosain FCA
However, Application of this guidance will depend on the facts
and circumstances present in a contract with a customer and
will require the exercise of judgment.
BFRS 15’s core principle is: an entity will recognise revenueto depict-
To establish principle based guidelines:-
- the transfer of promised goods or services to customersin an amount
-that reflects the consideration to which the entityexpects to be entitled in exchange for those goods orservices.
An entity shall consider the terms of thecontract and all relevant facts andcircumstances when applying this Standard
Mahamud Hosain FCA
The IASB and the FASB achieved their goal of reaching the sameconclusions on all requirements for the accounting for revenuefrom contracts with customers.
As a result, BFRS 15 and Topic 606 are substantially the same.However, there are some minor differences which are outlinedin the appendix to the Basis for Conclusions.
Overview of BFRS 15
Convergence & Integration among IASB’s pronouncement
This standard summarizes the revenue recognition in single standard in place of BAS 11, BAS 18, SIC 31, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15 & IFRIC 18

Background of BFRS 15
In order to address the concern/gap (risen time to time), specific guidelinesthrough SIC & IFRIC were issued.
All the superseded standards cover their own areas & were revised subsequently.
IASB (and its predecessor) had relentlessly employed efforts to prescribeproper accounting treatments in these areas. There was understood gapwith related GAAP issued by FASB.
After long time & due course of study of different accountingpronouncements/GAAP issued by various national/international standardssetter/regulatory guidelines applied in different political boundary,knowledge sharing with different standards setters across the globe,inviting & consideration of comments from interested group, meeting withexpert group/researcher, IASB has finally issued BFRS 15 in May 2014.
Finally IASB has undertaken project to bring convergence with FASBpronouncement/GAAP & integrate different standards in June 2002.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Rationale for issuance of BFRS 15…..[in4]
Revenue is a crucial number to users of the financial statements inassessing a company’s performance and prospects.
However, previous revenue recognition requirements in Bangladesh (International)Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) differed from those in US GenerallyAccepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) and both sets of requirements were inneed of improvement
Previous revenue recognition requirements in BFRS (BFRS 18 & BAS 11) provided limited guidance and, consequently, the two main revenue recognition Standards, BAS 18 and BAS 11,
could be difficult to apply to complex transactions. In addition, BAS 18 provided limited guidance on many important revenue
topics such as accounting for multiple-element arrangements.In contrast, US GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or
transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economicallysimilar transactions.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Rationale for issuance of BFRS 15…..
Hence convergence was very necessary and pursued to achieve through issuance ofnew standards
Accordingly, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the USnational standard-setter, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB),initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognising revenue and todevelop a common revenue standard for BFRS and US GAAP that would:
remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in previous revenue requirements;
provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities,
industries, jurisdictions and capital markets; provide more useful information to users of financial statements through
improved disclosure requirements; and simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of
requirements to which an entity must refer.

Identify the contract with the customer
An entity shall account for a contract with a customer only whenall of the following criteria are met:-
each party’s rights in relation to the goods or services whichto be transferred can be identified: Definite
Mahamud Hosain FCA
a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services)that is distinct; or
Step 2
a series of distinct goods or services that aresubstantially the same and that have the samepattern of transfer to the customer
Identifying performance obligations
At contract inception, an entity shall :-(i) assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a
customer; &
(ii) identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer tothe customer either
Mahamud Hosain FCA
each distinct good or service in the series that the entity promises to transfer to the customer to be a performance obligation satisfied over time; and
Same Pattern of Transfer
the same method to measure the entity’s progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct good or service
a series of distinct goods or services that have same pattern of transfer to the customer if both of the following criteria are met
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Example
The after-sales support revenue should be deferred and recognised over the next two years and should include a reasonable element of profit. This is often computed by reference to similar contracts. The revenue deferred on the after-sales ontract will be Tk 60,000 (cost and the 20% gross profit on selling price) per annum.
The revenue to be recognised on the handover of the system will be Tk 680,000 (Tk 800,000 – (2 x Tk 60,000))
On the last day of the current accounting period an entity completes thehandover of a new system to a client at an agreed price of Tk 800,000.The price includes after-sales support for the next two years. The cost ofproviding the support is estimated at Tk 48,000 per annum, and theentity earns a gross profit of 20% on support contracts.

sale of goods produced by an entity (for example, inventory of a manufacturer
resale of goods purchased by an entity (for example, merchandise of a retailer);
performing a contractually agreed-upon task (or tasks) for a customer

Depending on the contract, promised goods or services may include, but are not limited to, the following
Distinct Goods/services
Mahamud Hosain FCA
the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (ie the good or service is capable of being distinct); and
Distinct goods/Services
the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (ie the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).
goods or services are distinct if both of the following criteria are met
Mahamud Hosain FCA
An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.
Satisfaction of performance obligations
An entity shall recognise revenue when (or as) the entitysatisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promisedgood or service (ie an asset) to a customer
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the use of, andobtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, theasset. Control includes the ability to prevent other entitiesfrom directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, anasset
Performance of Obligation…
Goods and services are assets, even if only momentarily, when they arereceived and used (as in the case of many services).
Mahamud Hosain FCA
using the asset to produce goods or provide services (including public services);
Benefits to derive…
The benefits of an asset are the potential cash flows that can be obtained directly or indirectly in many ways, such as by:
using the asset to enhance the value of other assets
using the asset to settle liabilities or reduce expenses
selling or exchanging the asset
pledging the asset to secure a loan; and
holding the asset
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Performance obligations satisfied over time
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs
the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced
the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation
The objective when measuring progress is to depict an entity’s performance in transferring control of goods or services promised to a customer
An entity shall apply a single method of measuring progress consistently for each performance obligation satisfied over time
At the end of each reporting period, an entity shall remeasure its progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation satisfied over time
An entity shall recognise revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Measuring Method
output methods
input methods
In determining the appropriate method for measuring progress, an entity shall consider the nature of the good or service that the entity promised to transfer to the customer
Appropriate methods of measuring progress include
As circumstances change over time, an entity shall update its measure ofprogress to reflect any changes in the outcome of the performance obligation.Such changes to an entity’s measure of progress shall be accounted for as achange in accounting estimate in accordance with BAS 8 AccountingPolicies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Reasonable measures of progress
An entity shall recognise revenue for a performance obligation satisfied over time only:- if the entity can reasonably measure its progress towards
complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Appropriate methods of measuring progress include
In some circumstances (for example, in the early stages of a contract), an entitymay not be able to reasonably measure the outcome of a performanceobligation, but the entity expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying theperformance obligation.
In those circumstances, the entity shall recognise revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
The transaction price is the amount to which an entity expects to beentitled in exchange for the transfer of goods and services. When makingthis determination, an entity will consider past customary businesspractices
Step 3
Where a contract contains elements of variable consideration, theentity will estimate the amount of variable consideration to whichit will be entitled under the contract.
Determine the transaction price
When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, an entity shalldetermine the attributable portion of transaction price to recogniserevenue
uncertainty relating to variable consideration shall be taken underconsideration by limiting the amount of variable consideration that can berecognised.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Estimation of Variable Consideration
The expected value—the expected value is the sum of probability-weightedamounts in a range of possible consideration amounts.
The most likely amount —the most likely amount is the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts
An entity shall estimate an amount of variable consideration by using either of the following methods, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled
An expected value may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variableconsideration if an entity has a large number of contracts with similarcharacteristics.
The most likely amount may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has only two possible outcomes (for example, an entity either achieves a performance bonus or does not).
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Constraining estimates of variable considerationAn entity shall include in the transaction price some or all of an amount ofvariable consideration estimated only to the extent that it is highly probable that asignificant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occurwhen the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequentlyresolved
Variable Consideration
Refund liabilities:An entity shall recognise a refund liability if the entity receives consideration from acustomer and expects to refund some or all of that consideration to the customer.A refund liability is measured at the amount of consideration received (orreceivable) for which the entity does not expect to be entitled (ie amounts notincluded in the transaction price).
sales or usage-based royaltyA different, more restrictive approach is applied in respect of sales or usage-based royaltyrevenue arising from licenses of intellectual property. Such revenue is recognized only when theunderlying sales or usage occur. [B63]
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Non-cash considerationTo determine the transaction price for contracts in which a customer promisesconsideration in a form other than cash
Variable Consideration
The existence of a significant financing component in the contractIn determining the transaction price, an entity shall adjust the promisedamount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing ofpayments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly orimplicitly) provides the customer or the entity with a significant benefit offinancing the transfer of goods or services to the customer.
Reassessment of variable considerationAt the end of each reporting period, an entity shall update the estimated transaction price(including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration isconstrained) to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reportingperiod and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period
an entity shall measure the non-cash consideration at fair value.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
An entity shall account for consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price…..Off Setting
Consideration payable to customer
Consideration payable to a customer also includes credit or other items (for example, a coupon or voucher)
Consideration payable to a customer includes cash amounts that an entity pays, or expects to pay, to the customer (or to other parties that purchase the entity’s goods or services from the customer).
If the consideration payable to a customer includes a variable amount, an entity shall estimate the transaction price
the entity recognises revenue for the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer; and
the entity pays or promises to pay the consideration. That promise might be implied by the entity’s customary business practices.
If consideration payable to a customer is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price, an entity shall recognise the reduction of revenue when (or as) the later of either of the following events occurs:-
Mahamud Hosain FCA
To meet the allocation objective, an entity shall allocate the transaction price toeach performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative stand-aloneselling price
Step 4
Allocating the transaction price to performance obligations
when allocating the transaction price it shall be allocated to each performance obligation (ordistinct good or service) in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which theentity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to thecustomer
Where consideration is paid in advance or in arrears, the entity will need to considerwhether the contract includes a significant financing arrangement and, if so, adjustfor the time value of money
Mahamud Hosain FCA
The best evidence of a stand-alone selling price is the observable price of a good or service when the entity sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers
Allocation based on stand-alone selling prices
The stand-alone selling price is the price at which an entity would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer
To allocate under this basis; an entity shall determine the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocate the transaction price in proportion to those stand-alone selling prices.
Adjusted market assessment approach—an entity could evaluate the market in which it sells goods or services and estimate the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those goods or services
Suitable methods for estimating the stand-alone selling price of a good or service include, but are not limited to, the following:-
If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, an entity shall estimate the stand-alone selling price
Expected cost plus a margin approach—an entity could forecast its expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that good or service
Residual approach—an entity may estimate the stand-alone selling price by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable stand-alone selling prices of other goods or services promised in the contract
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Allocation of Discount
A customer receives a discount for purchasing a bundle of goods or services if the sum of the stand-alone selling prices of those promised goods or services in the contract exceeds the promised consideration in a contract
the entity regularly sells each distinct good or service (or each bundle of distinct goods or services) in the contract on a stand-alone basis;
An entity shall allocate a discount entirely to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract if all of the following criteria are met:
the entity also regularly sells on a stand-alone basis a bundle (or bundles) of some of those distinct goods or services at a discount to the stand-alone selling prices of the goods or services in each bundle; and
the discount attributable to each bundle of goods or services is substantially the same as the discount in the contract and an analysis of the goods or services in each bundle provides observable evidence of the performance obligation
Mahamud Hosain FCA
one or more, but not all, distinct goods or services promised in a series of distinct goods or services that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with paragraph
Allocation of Variable Consideration
one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract (for example, a bonus may be contingent on an entity transferring a promised good or service within a specified period of time); or
the terms of a variable payment relate specifically to the entity’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation or transfer the distinct good or service (or to a specific outcome from satisfying the performance obligation or transferring the distinct good or service); and
An entity shall allocate a variable amount entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation if both of the following criteria are met:
Variable consideration that is promised in a contract may be attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract, such as either of the following
allocating the variable amount of consideration entirely to the performance obligation or the distinct good or service is consistent with the allocation objective considering all of the performance obligations and payment terms in the contract.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
An entity shall allocate to the performance obligations in the contract any subsequent changes in the transaction price on the same basis as at contract inception.
Changes in the transaction price
The resolution of uncertain events or other changes in circumstances that change the amount ofconsideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods orservices.
An entity shall allocate the change in the transaction price to the performance obligations identified in the contract before the modification if, and to the extent that, the change in the transaction price is attributable to an amount of variable consideration promised before the modification and the modification is accounted for
In all other cases in which the modification was not accounted for as a separate contract, an entity shall allocate the change in the transaction price to the performance obligations in the modified contract
An entity shall account for a change in the transaction price that arises as a result of a contract modification:
After contract inception, the transaction price can change for various reasons including:
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Contract costs
Incremental costs of obtaining a contractAn entity shall recognise as an asset the incrementalcosts of obtaining a contract with a customer if theentity expects to recover those costs.
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, a sales commission).
Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained shall be recognised as an expense when incurred, unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Contract costs
the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify
the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and
for example, costs relating to services to be provided under renewal of an existing contract or costs of designing an asset to be transferred under a specific contract that has not yet been approved
Costs to fulfil a contract:If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scopeof another Standard, an entity shall recognise an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil acontract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria
the costs are expected to be recovered.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
direct labour (for example, salaries and wages of employees who provide the promised services directly to the customer
Costs that relate directly to a contract …
Costs that relate directly to a contract includes any of the following:
direct materials (for example, supplies used in providing the promised services to a customer);
allocations of costs that relate directly to the contract or to contract activities (forexample, costs of contract management and supervision, insurance and depreciation oftools and equipment used in fulfilling the contract
costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract; and
other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the contract (for example, payments to subcontractors).
Mahamud Hosain FCA
costs of wasted materials, labour or other resources to fulfil the contract that were not reflected in the price of the contract
Cost to expense off…
general and administrative costs (unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract)
costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations in the contract (ie costs that relate to past performance); and
costs for which an entity cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to unsatisfied performance obligations or to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations)
An entity shall recognise the following costs as expenses when incurred:
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Amortisation & Impairments of Cost
An entity shall update the amortisation to reflect a significant change in the entity’s expected timing of transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates
An asset recognised under this standard shall be amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
the remaining amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less
the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognised as expenses
An entity shall recognise an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carryingamount of an asset recognised exceeds
An entity shall recognise in profit or loss a reversal of some or all of an impairment loss previously recognised when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. The increased carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed the amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation) if no impairment loss had been recognised previously.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Control of an asset is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtainsubstantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. This includes the ability toprevent others from directing the use of and obtaining the benefits from the asset.
Step 5
Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue is recognised as control is passed, either over time or at apoint in time.
using the asset to produce goods or provide services;
The benefits related to the asset are the potential cash flows that may be obtaineddirectly or indirectly. These include, but are not limited to:
using the asset to enhance the value of other assets;
using the asset to settle liabilities or to reduce expenses
selling or exchanging the asset
pledging the asset to secure a loan; and
holding the asset.

Presentation
When either party to a contract has performed, an entity shall present the contract in the statement of financial position as a contract asset or a contract liability
If a customer pays consideration, or an entity has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (ie a receivable), before the entity transfers a good or service to the customer, the entity shall present the contract as a contract liability when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).
If an entity performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, the entity shall present the contract as a contract asset, excluding any amounts presented as a receivable.
This Standard uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ but does not prohibit an entity from using alternative descriptions in the statement of financial position. If an entity uses an alternative description for a contract asset, the entity shall provide sufficient information for a user of the financial statements to distinguish between receivables and contract assets.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Disclosure
The objective of the disclosure requirements is for an entity todisclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statementsto understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenueand cash flows arising from contracts with customers.To achievethat objective, an entity shall disclose qualitative andquantitative information about all of the following:
its contracts with customers
the significant judgements, and changes in the judgements, made in applying this Standard to those contracts
any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer
An entity shall consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure objective and how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements.

Disclosure
Contracts with customers:An entity shall disclose all of the following amounts for the reportingperiod unless those amounts are presented separately in thestatement of comprehensive income in accordance with otherStandards:
revenue recognised from contracts with customers, which the entity shall discloseseparately from its other sources of revenue; and
any impairment losses recognised (in accordance with BFRS 9) on any receivables orcontract assets arising from an entity’s contracts with customers, which the entity shalldisclose separately from impairment losses from other contracts.
Mahamud Hosain FCA
Disclosure
Disaggregation of revenue:An entity shall disaggregate revenue recognised from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
In addition, an entity shall disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the relationship between the disclosure of disaggregated revenue and revenue information that is disclosed for each reportable segment, if the entity applies BFRS 8 Operating Segments

Methods for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation
Methods that can be used to measure an entity’s progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation satisfied over time in accordance with the following
output methods
input methods
Mahamud Hosain FCA
output methods
Output methods recognize revenue- on the basis of direct measurements of the value ofgoods or services transferred to date to the customer- relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.

the sales price as an up-front, non-refundable deposit. Once a deposit is received, Z
identifies the product to be sold and segregates it in its warehouse.

an average six-month lay away period before the customer pays the entire sale
amount. How should Company Z account for the deposit received?

TRADE LOADING" AND "CHANNEL STUFFING"
Sometimes manufacturers or dealers try to enhance the apparent volumeof their sales, profits, and/or market share by inducing their wholesalecustomers to buy more product than they can promptly resell. The result isaccelerated, but not increased, volume, because the wholesalers'inventories become bloated and their future orders from themanufacturers are reduced. This practice is known as "trade loading" or"channel stuffing".
How is revenue recognised in the case of trade loading or channel stuffing?
If the revenue recognition criteria in BFRS 15 for sales of goods are met, as
obligation to customer met, the revenue should be recognised. Revenue is
recorded net of the expected returns. Therefore, management must estimate
the amount of product to be returned.
