Globalization has had a big impact on the market and modern economies rely on crossborder transactions and a seamless cashflow. The number of cross-border transactions is expected to grow in the future, so it is vital that the reporting is meeting todayrsquo;s demands. This is where the international Financial Reporting Standards come in. The IFRS –standards help to give a more efficient, transparent accountability to the business world. In January 2018, a new IFRS standard was taken into use, the IFRS 15 -revenue from contracts with customers. The scope of this thesis is to give a clear and defined picture of what IFRS 15 is and what changes this new standard brings to organizations. In this thesis the research is conducted with several different outlets for the theory portion and an interview, with an IFRS 15 specialist, is conducted. The interviewee is giving insight into the practical side of IFRS 15; what the challenges have been with the implementation, what changes there is for the reporting process and what the overall spirits are for this change. |

1 Introduction International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is used in listed companies. IFRS is a global accounting standard. Globalizations has had a big impact on the market and modern economies rely on cross-border transactions and a seamless cashflow. The number of crossborder transactions is expected to grow in the future, so it is vital that the reporting is meeting todays demands. In the past these kinds of cross-border transactions were complicated because every country had their own national accounting standards. This added transaction costs, complexity and risks to companies making the financial reports and the shareholders making economic decisions based on these reports. IFRS solves this complexity and highrisk problem by providing a set of quality and internationally recognized accounting standards. This international reporting standard gives transparency, liability and efficiency to markets around the world. (IFRS, 2017) IFRS consists of many different parts, but this thesis concentrates on IFRS 15. This standard is used when reporting and recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standards effective date was 1 January 2018, which makes this a new reporting standard. In the IFRS 15 -standard the directions are more precise on how to report, than what they were in the previous standards. This standard is meant to give accurate and meaningful information of the sales and the nature, timing and uncertainties of the cashflow, to those who need it. (KPMG, 2017) 1.1 Problem and purpose The problem with the IFRS 15 is that it is new, and it must be correctly understood and implemented to be efficient. Not only does IFRS 15 have a high impact on the reporting and accounting processes, but it also has an impact on the cross functional areas in an organization. The standard is very important for international transaction reporting. It is crucial for organizations to understand this standard correctly otherwise it could lead to bad results financially. The aim of this bachelorrsquo;s thesis is to get a clear and defined picture of what IFRS 15 is and what changes the standard is going to bring to the organizations. 1.2 Limitations The IFRS is a system that is consisting of many standards. This thesis is only focusing on the IFRS 15 -revenue from contracts with customers. It concentrates on what IFRS 15 is and what the changes are for the organization and how it differs from the standards that it replaces. 3 A five-step model approach The five-step model approach is used to recognize when and where, the sales proceeds, should be recorded. How difficult the stage/s of the five-step model is for a company, depends on which industry it operates in. The model is based on the fact that the sales proceeds are recorded in such a way, as it is described of the promised goods or services to the customer, and the amount that the organization expects to be entitled to. (KPMG, 2017)
In the following sub-chapters, the five-step model will be explained in detail. 3.1 Identify the contract with a customer According to the IFRS 15 manual, published by the IASB, paragraph 9 says that the following conditions must be fulfilled so that the contract with a customer can be considered valid; a) The parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations b) The entity can identify each partyrsquo;s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred c) The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred d) The contract has commercial substance (i.e. the risk, timing or amount of the entityrsquo;s future cash flows is expected to change because of the contract) e) It is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable an entity shall consider only the customerrsquo;s ability and intention to pay that amount of 全文共26282字,剩余内容已隐藏,支付完成后下载完整资料
