Introduction of AS 9 Revenue Recognition

Revenue has to be measured by the amount charged to the clients for the sale of goods and services.
However, in the case of the agency relationship, the revenue has to be measured by the amount charged for commission and not on the gross inflow of the cash, receivables or other consideration.
There are few exceptions to the above-mentioned statement where the special consideration applies: –
  1. Revenue arising from Construction Contracts
  2. Revenue arising from hire-purchase, lease agreements
  3. Revenue arising from government grants and other similar subsidies
  4. Revenue of Insurance companies arising from insurance contracts

Explanation

  1. Revenue recognition emphasizes on the timing of recognition of revenue in the statement of profit and loss of an enterprise
  2. The amount of revenue arising from a transaction is usually determined by an agreement between the parties involved in the transaction
  3. When uncertainties arise regarding the determination of the amount or its associated costs, these uncertainties may influence the timing of the revenue
