Criteria examined (one is enough)
ChecklistRequired
- Control: ability to direct the use of the asset and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits
- The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs (another entity would not need to re-perform the work completed)
- The performance creates or enhances an asset (tangible or intangible) that the customer controls as it is created
- Asset with no alternative use: substantive contractual restriction or practical limitation (significant economic losses), assessed at inception
- Enforceable right, at all times, to compensation approximating the selling price of the performance completed (costs incurred plus a reasonable margin, for example) if terminated for reasons other than the entity's failure to perform
- Determination made at inception; if no criterion is met, obligation satisfied at a point in time

Measurement method examined
Checklist
- Objective: depict the entity's performance in transferring control
- A single method for each obligation, applied consistently and remeasured at each reporting date
- Output method (value transferred) or input method (efforts expended), depending on the nature of the good or service
- Goods or services whose control is not transferred excluded from the measure
- Update of progress: change in accounting estimate (IAS 8)
- Progress reasonably measurable; otherwise, revenue limited to the costs incurred that are expected to be recovered
Method for measuring progress retained
ChoiceRequired
Input: costs incurred relative to total expected costs
Input: costs incurred relative to total expected costs / Input: other measure (hours, time elapsed) / Output (surveys, milestones, units delivered) / Revenue to the extent of costs incurred (progress not reasonably measurable) / Not applicable: obligation satisfied at a point in time
The choice of method is a judgement based on the nature of the good or service (para. 41); the calculation below illustrates the cost-to-cost method. For another method, enter the corresponding measures instead of costs.
Contract modification
AnalysisIFRS 15 §18IFRS 15 §19IFRS 15 §20IFRS 15 §21
Analysis of the modification
Checklist
- Change in scope or price approved by the parties (even implicitly); otherwise, existing contract unchanged
- Scope approved without a price set: change estimated as variable consideration with the constraint
- Separate contract: addition of distinct goods or services at a price reflecting their stand-alone selling prices
- Remaining goods distinct: termination and new contract, prospectively
- Remaining goods not distinct from a partially satisfied obligation: cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue
Contract balances
AnalysisIFRS 15 §105IFRS 15 §106IFRS 15 §107IFRS 15 §108
Presentation examined
ChecklistRequired
- Contract presented as a contract asset or liability depending on the relationship between performance and payment; unconditional right presented as a receivable
- Payment received or due before the transfer: contract liability
- Performance before payment or due date: contract asset (right conditional on something other than the passage of time)
- Receivable: right that is conditional only on the passage of time (IFRS 9)

Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs)
Calculation
2,500,000
Transaction price allocated to the obligation (after any modification) ; Total costs expected to satisfy the obligation (updated budget) ; Costs incurred at the reporting date that depict the entity's performance
The calculation applies to the price and cumulative costs the generic engine amount × units / reference units. After a modification accounted for as a cumulative catch-up (para. 21), enter the revised price and budget: the difference with prior revenue includes the catch-up.
Revenue for the period (cumulative revenue − revenue of prior periods)
Calculation
2,500,000
Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs) ; − Cumulative revenue recognised in prior periods
Contract asset at the reporting date (cumulative revenue − amounts invoiced, if positive)
Calculation
500,000
Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs) ; − Cumulative amounts invoiced or received at the reporting date
Contract liability at the reporting date (amounts invoiced − cumulative revenue, if positive)
Calculation
0
Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs) ; − Cumulative amounts invoiced or received at the reporting date
Teaching assumption: the amounts invoiced are due or collected, so that the net position of the contract gives a contract asset or a contract liability (para. 105 to 107); amounts invoiced and not collected remain receivables.

Criteria examined (one is enough)
ChecklistRequired
- Control: ability to direct the use of the asset and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits
- The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs (another entity would not need to re-perform the work completed)
- The performance creates or enhances an asset (tangible or intangible) that the customer controls as it is created
- Asset with no alternative use: substantive contractual restriction or practical limitation (significant economic losses), assessed at inception
- Enforceable right, at all times, to compensation approximating the selling price of the performance completed (costs incurred plus a reasonable margin, for example) if terminated for reasons other than the entity's failure to perform
- Determination made at inception; if no criterion is met, obligation satisfied at a point in time

Measurement method examined
Checklist
- Objective: depict the entity's performance in transferring control
- A single method for each obligation, applied consistently and remeasured at each reporting date
- Output method (value transferred) or input method (efforts expended), depending on the nature of the good or service
- Goods or services whose control is not transferred excluded from the measure
- Update of progress: change in accounting estimate (IAS 8)
- Progress reasonably measurable; otherwise, revenue limited to the costs incurred that are expected to be recovered
Method for measuring progress retained
ChoiceRequired
Input: costs incurred relative to total expected costs
Input: costs incurred relative to total expected costs / Input: other measure (hours, time elapsed) / Output (surveys, milestones, units delivered) / Revenue to the extent of costs incurred (progress not reasonably measurable) / Not applicable: obligation satisfied at a point in time
The choice of method is a judgement based on the nature of the good or service (para. 41); the calculation below illustrates the cost-to-cost method. For another method, enter the corresponding measures instead of costs.
Contract modification
AnalysisIFRS 15 §18IFRS 15 §19IFRS 15 §20IFRS 15 §21
Analysis of the modification
Checklist
- Change in scope or price approved by the parties (even implicitly); otherwise, existing contract unchanged
- Scope approved without a price set: change estimated as variable consideration with the constraint
- Separate contract: addition of distinct goods or services at a price reflecting their stand-alone selling prices
- Remaining goods distinct: termination and new contract, prospectively
- Remaining goods not distinct from a partially satisfied obligation: cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue
Contract balances

Presentation examined
ChecklistRequired
- Contract presented as a contract asset or liability depending on the relationship between performance and payment; unconditional right presented as a receivable
- Payment received or due before the transfer: contract liability
- Performance before payment or due date: contract asset (right conditional on something other than the passage of time)
- Receivable: right that is conditional only on the passage of time (IFRS 9)
Revenue for the period and contract balance

Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs)
Calculation
2,325,000
Transaction price allocated to the obligation (after any modification) ; Total costs expected to satisfy the obligation (updated budget) ; Costs incurred at the reporting date that depict the entity's performance
The calculation applies to the price and cumulative costs the generic engine amount × units / reference units. After a modification accounted for as a cumulative catch-up (para. 21), enter the revised price and budget: the difference with prior revenue includes the catch-up.
Revenue for the period (cumulative revenue − revenue of prior periods)
Calculation
1,675,000
Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs) ; − Cumulative revenue recognised in prior periods
Contract asset at the reporting date (cumulative revenue − amounts invoiced, if positive)
Calculation
355,000
Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs) ; − Cumulative amounts invoiced or received at the reporting date
Contract liability at the reporting date (amounts invoiced − cumulative revenue, if positive)
Calculation
0
Cumulative revenue at the reporting date (allocated price × costs incurred / total expected costs) ; − Cumulative amounts invoiced or received at the reporting date
Teaching assumption: the amounts invoiced are due or collected, so that the net position of the contract gives a contract asset or a contract liability (para. 105 to 107); amounts invoiced and not collected remain receivables.
