In my opinion you are right.
SYME are only the agent not the principal in the transaction so they only book the fee income and it’s up to the principal, the SYME client as to how they account for the cash received.
I continue to believe that under IFRS 15, bill and hold transactions, that the SYME true sale is ineffective because the stock companies never intend to buy the stock and only take possession in event of a client liquidation. Furthermore, the clients can according to SYME continue to market the same inventory again in breach of IFRS rules on bill and hold transactions.
The FRC also didn’t believe that SYME’s True Sale accounting was effective either.
