Analysis of control
Checklist
- Specified goods or services identified (a right to a good or service of a third party may be one), analysis performed for each
- Control before transfer (good obtained from the third party, right to a service it directs, integration into a combined good); momentary title is not necessarily enough
- Indicators: primary responsibility for fulfilment, inventory risk, discretion in establishing the price, relevance depending on the contract
- Principal: gross revenue; agent: fee, commission or net amount retained
- Obligations assumed by another entity: no principal revenue, possible agent role examined

AnalysisIFRS 15IFRS 15IFRS 15IFRS 15 §B50
Points examined
Checklist
- Prepayment: contract liability, released to revenue when the goods or services are transferred
- Part of the prepaid rights may not be exercised by customers
- Upfront fees: related to a good or service transferred or an advance for future goods (period possibly extended by a renewal option that is a material right)
- Fees related to a good or service: whether distinct assessed under paragraphs 22 to 30
The pattern of recognition of expected breakage is specified by paragraphs whose rules this workpaper does not restate; the calculation of breakage for the period is a teaching convention.

- Right to use: obligation satisfied at a point in time, no revenue before the beginning of the period of use
- Restrictions of time, geography or use and guarantees of the validity of a patent with no effect on the classification

AnalysisIFRS 15IFRS 15 §B84IFRS 15 §B85IFRS 15 §B86
Effect of the clause on the transfer of control
Checklist
