The specific promises in a contract with customers that must be satisfied to recognize revenue.

16
What is the "substance over form" principle in IFRS 15?
It means recognizing the substance of a transaction over its legal form. For most businesses, the commercial substance and legal form of a transaction are the same, but substance should be followed if they differ.
17
What is a "sale or return" arrangement?
It's when a dealer has the right to return unsold inventory to the manufacturer within a specific period. Legal title remains with the manufacturer until a certain event occurs (e.g., sale to a third party or the end of the period).
18
When can a manufacturer recognize revenue in a sale or return arrangement?
Revenue can be recognized either at the end of the specified period if the inventory is not returned, or earlier if the dealer sells the inventory to a third party.
19
What risk does the manufacturer hold in a sale or return agreement?
The manufacturer holds the risk of inventory becoming obsolete and unsold until certain criteria are met.
20
What is a sale and repurchase agreement?
A sale and repurchase agreement (repo) is a short-term borrowing arrangement commonly used in financial markets. It involves two linked transactions:

1. Sale

One party (usually a bank or financial institution) sells securities—often government bonds—to another party and receives cash.
To the seller, this functions like a loan secured by collateral.

2. Repurchase

At the same time, the seller agrees to buy back the same securities at a later date (often the next day or within a week) at a slightly higher price.
The difference between the sale price and the repurchase price is effectively interest, called the repo rate.
21
What is the key principle to consider with sale and repurchase agreements?
The substance of the transaction over its legal form—often, such agreements are loans against an asset, not genuine sales.
22
In a sale and repurchase agreement How is interest on the 'loan' accounted for each year?
Accrue interest expense (e.g., 10% of 2.4 million = 240k), debit finance cost in P&L, credit accruals (liability).
23
In a sale and repurchase agreement What do the buy-back clauses in the agreement mean for the risks and rewards of the asset?
Risks and rewards of changes in property value remain with the seller
24
How does a sale and repurchase agreement affect the financial statements of the seller?
The property remains on the balance sheet at cost, the proceeds are recognized as a loan, and annual interest is expensed.
25
What is consignment inventory?
It occurs when a manufacturer delivers to a dealer, but the manufacturer retains ownership until the products are sold to third parties.
26
What main factor determines when revenue can be recognized on consignment inventory?
Whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the manufacturer to the dealer.
27
If the dealer has the right to return inventory without penalty, who retains the risks of obsolete stock? (consignment inventory)
The manufacturer retains the risks.
28
What does it suggest if the sale price is set at the time of delivery and does not change? (consignment inventory)
That the transfer of risks and rewards may have occurred at delivery, supporting recognition of a sale.
29

The right to return at any time without a penalty.

Recognizing revenue and profit based on how much of the contract is completed, either by costs incurred or work certified.

Input method uses actual costs compared to estimated total costs. Output method uses work certified by a surveyor as complete.
33
When is profit recognized in a construction contract?
Only when the outcome can be estimated with reasonable certainty; if not, revenue equals costs (no profit recognized).
34
How are payments received before work is done treated?
They are not revenue until the related work is performed.
35
How are over- or under-billings shown on the balance sheet?
Amounts due from customers = asset; amounts due to customers = liability.
36
What happens if a contract is expected to make a loss?
