Memo

Planning memo of the revenue review

Planning memo of the revenue review of the Arvelis group at 31 December 20X4. Contracts and items to be reviewed: Laiteries Brévannes packaging line, upgrade of the Brasserie Kervalo and its amendment, sale with deferred payment to Verreries Montclair, ArvelisParts platform, order from Sucrerie d'Ostrevan, Fromageries Valcourt maintenance contract, contract balances and note. Group policies (case data): progress of obligations satisfied over time is measured by the costs incurred relative to the total expected costs; annual maintenance contracts are billed in advance; the group applies the practical expedient that exempts it from disclosing the price allocated to the remaining obligations of contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Specific arrangements: Third-party suppliers' parts

Context

The Arvelis group (fictitious entities) designs and manufactures custom packaging lines and standard machines (Arvelis Machines division); it also performs plant upgrade works, provides maintenance contracts and sells spare parts, in particular on its online platform ArvelisParts (Arvelis Services division). Its reporting date is 31 December and it applies IFRS. You are in charge of the revenue review file at 31 December 20X4: existence of the contracts, performance obligations, transaction prices, allocation, timing of recognition, modification, contract balances, principal or agent, contract costs, entries, impact, note, responses to the reviewer's notes and conclusion. The entries of the file are presented as not yet recorded and cash collections are not dealt with, unless otherwise stated (teaching assumptions). Impairment of receivables and contract assets under IFRS 9, amortisation of contract cost assets and income tax are outside the scope.

Assignment

Principal versus agent workpaper (spare-parts platform).

Purpose of the workpaper
