Two new Reporting Standards came into effect foe A/Cs beginning after Jan 2018. These concern Financial Instruments - mainly affecting Banks and Contracts - of which FCRM has many. I am led to believe from a brief look that these are in the interests of transparency.
IFRS 15 establishes the principles that an entity applies when reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from a contract with a customer. Applying IFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To recognise revenue under IFRS 15, an entity applies the following five steps:
• identify the contract(s) with a customer.
• identify the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer to a customer goods or services that are distinct.
• determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, an entity must estimate the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer
This may be the reason - and if so only affects the 2019 A/Cs
