OVERVIEW
The COVID-19 pandemic crisis still appears to be continuing with its destructive impact across most economies around the globe. The economic effects of this devastating pandemic mean that investors and other stakeholders need high-quality financial information more than ever, especially multinational entities with footprints in diverse geographical locations. The same applies to parent companies with several subsidiaries and associated entities which need accurate recognition and measurement of their business revenues.
IFRS 15 Revenues from contracts with Customers is an International Financial Reporting Standard promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board providing guidance on accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. It was adopted in 2014 and became effective in January 2018. It was the subject of a joint project with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which issues accounting guidance in the United States, and the guidance is substantially similar between the two boards outlines the requirements for the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements, requiring a company to consolidate entities it controls.
Due to recent developments, entities will be required to pay keen attention to all aspects surrounding recognition and accounting for business revenues to ensure accurate and reliable information to the different stakeholders.
To help address the questions and any other concerns around the consolidation of financials statements related to IFRS 15, the Institute has organized a Webinar to address this critical topic.
To guide the discussion during the Webinar, the following areas will form the focus of this very important virtual event.
- The five revenue recognition steps of IFRS 15
- Impact of COVID-19 on revenue recognition and measurement
- Disclosure considerations
