Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Hello and welcome to the session in which we would look at revenue recognition.
2
What is revenue recognition?
3
Revenue recognition is when do we recognize revenue?
4
When do we record revenue?
5
Revenue is one of the most important figures for companies.
6
Revenue drives everything else on the financial statements.
7
It's called the top line for a reason.
8
It is the top line and it's the most important.
9
It drives your earnings before interest and taxes.
10
It drives your earnings per share, exist without revenue or they might be able to exist for a short period of time,
11
very short period of time, if the investors kept investing money.
12
But without revenue, you can't have a profit.
13
Without revenues, you should not be incurring any expenses.
14
So revenue is important.
15
And in the real world, revenue is subject to fraud.
16
So that's why revenue recognition is important.
17
GAAP had numerous standards in the past, and this is, I'm going to give you a little bit of background information, over 100 standards for revenue recognitions, and some of them were inconsistent with each other.
18
That's in the U .S.
19
Globally, IFRS had only one general standard and some limited guidance.
20
So what they decided to do, they decided to combine and create one set of revenue recognition for both U .S and IFRS.
21
contract with customers and the key word is contract we need to talk a little bit more about contract.
22
So the purpose of this convergence is to improve comparability across countries,
23
companies, industries, because if investors wants to learn about Sony's revenue,
24
it should be easy to read Sony's financial statement or if you want to learn about a European company, Adidas or a US company, it should be all the same in how they recognize revenue.
25
The purpose also is to simplify the preparation of financial statement and also help the users understand how revenue is recognized.
26
Specifically, they used something called the asset liability approach.
27
And this approach said that revenue is driven by measurement of assets and liabilities arising from the contract.
28
So basically what they said, when we need to recognize revenue, look at the contract and see how the contract is changing the assets of the company.
29
For example, account receivable, do you have,
30
do you expect, you have a legal expectation because of this contract.
31
So this is what they said.
32
The contract will drive this asset liability, what's called asset liability approach.
33
So revenue is driven by how the contract is changing your assets and your liabilities.
34
Specifically, they have five steps of revenue recognition.
35
And to illustrate those five steps, I'm going to just work a simple example, but those five steps will be covered in details later on.
36
In this session, I will cover one step of them,
37
and that's So let's assume Tesla entered into a contract to sell the Model Y for 75 ,000.
38
This is the Model Y to be delivered 60 days from today.
39
First thing is that we have a contract.
40
Well, the answer is yes, we have a contract.
41
Maybe the customer went online to Tesla and input the information, and that's the contract.
42
Or maybe the customer walked into Tesla's dealership in one of the malls in the US and signed some paperwork.
43
So somehow there is a contract.
44
Does it have to be in writing?
45
We'll talk about the contract later on on the next slide.
46
But the point is there is a contract.
47
There is an agreement between a buyer and Tesla.
48
That's the first thing.
49
The second thing is the contract will have to identify the separate performance obligation in the contract.
50
Now for the sake of simplicity, there's only one performance obligation and that is what?
51
Tesla has to deliver the car to the customer.
52
That's it.
53
So identify the separate there's only one because we're keeping this example simple.
54
One obligation and that's to deliver the car.
55
Now if we for example
56
if Tesla will would want to sell a maintenance agreement on the vehicle then that will be a separate
57
separate performance obligation
58
but here we're assuming one obligation step three in the count
59
in the in the revenue recognition five step process is determine
60
the transaction price that's easy the transaction price is 75 000
61
we're going to have a whole session about determining the transaction price
62
which is because it's sometime it's not as straightforward
63
or simple then we're going to allocate once we determine the
64
price once we determine the price we're going to allocate the
65
price to the to the up to the obligation to the separate performance obligation One thing here, one price, one obligation, it's easy.
66
So the 75 ,000 is toward the car.
67
And Tesla would recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
68
They only have one and that one is to deliver the car.
69
So revenue is recognized when Tesla performed the obligation.
70
And when does Tesla perform the obligation?
71
They're hoping 60 days from today they will perform the obligation.
72
and cover step one I would like to remind you whether you are a student
73
or a CPA candidate to take a look at my website farhatlectures .com my motto is saving CPA candidate

78
and multiple choice my CPA material is aligned with your backer Wiley gleam or miles, I also give you access to 1 ,500.
79
Originally released, previously originally released, AICPA questions with detailed solution.
80
If you have not connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so, take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation.
81
Like this recording, share it with others, connect with me on Instagram.
82
I'm trying to grow my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.
83
So let's now dive a little bit more into step one, identify the contract with customer.
84
Well, what is a contract?
85
That's the first thing we need to know.
86
Well, it's an agreement that create enforceable rights and obligation.
87
Two parties agree to the contract.
88
You cannot have a contract with one party agreeing if the other party don't agree.
89
If you want to sell me something, you send me a contract.
90
Well, you send me the contract.
91
You signed it.
92
Well, if I didn't sign the contract, there is no agreement.
93
So it has to be by both parties.
94
And the contract doesn't have to be in writing.
95
If it's in writing, it's helpful, it's good, it's better to have a contract in writing, but sometimes it's not feasible to have a contract in writing.
96
Because let's assume you want to buy something from the store, you walk into the store, you pick it up from the shelves, you walk, to the register and you buy it.
97
You don't need a contract to do that.
98
So basically, or you don't even have to talk to anyone.
99
For example, if you pick up something at the supermarket, sometime you have what's called the self -checkout.
100
You check it out yourself.
101
That's also a contract.
102
You're taking the item.
103
you're paying for it so the contract is implied sometimes the contract is oral
104
if two individual agree and that could be two car dealer car dealerships
105
or any two individuals can agree to buy and sell
106
and as long as they trust each other it's an oral contract
107
or sometimes it's the contract is customary for example
108
when your inventory reaches a certain level i send you the
109
product i don't have to talk to you this is customary in the industry
110
because you need the product and you are relying on me so the contract doesn't have to be in writing
111
it can be implied so
112
but the point is you have to have some sort of a contract this is the foundation
113
if you don't have a contract whether it's in writing
114
or implied you don't have revenue
115
because you need something okay the contract should also have five
116
additional criteria we're going to go over these criteria separately one
117
is commercial substance commercial substance sometimes it's called you know a protective clause not to inflate revenue simply put
118
when you go into a contract with
119
actual business transaction
120
and you're not only shuffling papers to inflate your revenue simply
121
put I would say okay let's do this let's sign this contract for this period
122
and I will sell you the stuff right and next period I will buy it back no
123
What you did is you inflated your revenue and you're buying back the product.
124
Well, it has to have an actual business reason, not shuffling papers.
125
It has to have business sense, economic substance.
126
We are entering into a transaction because there's a benefit for you
127
and a benefit for me in a sense that it's a business benefit.
128
Both parties, as I told you, have to approve the contract.
129
Otherwise, the contract is not enforceable.
130
And we talked about this.
131
Also, you cannot have a termination clause that you can easily exit.
132
If we have a contract and you can easily exit, there are no consequences for breaking the contract.
133
You really have no contract because you can at any point leave, exit.
134
There is no real or true contract.
135
payment later on there's one whole section about how to determine
136
the payment you have to have enough information to determine the price
137
or be able to estimate the price on the contract
138
if it's easy like in our contract with tesla that's fine okay
139
or for example let me just kind of make this little bit more interesting for example
140
when you bought this tesla tesla would say look
141
if our stock price above a thousand dollar okay we're gonna reduce five percent of your of your selling
142
$75 ,000 then well if the stock price of Tesla on the day
143
that we sell it to you we're going to give you a 5 % discount.
144
Well, we could, it's not fixed, it's not specific, but I just made up this example just to tell you, it doesn't have to be specific.
145
We'll talk about that later on, but this is just a fictitious example.
146
Also the contract will hide will have to identify rights to goods and services.
147
Exactly what am I getting?
148
What am I paying for it?
149
What am I getting?
150
Okay, I know what I'm paying for.
151
I know how much I'm paying, but what am I getting in return?
152
You have to identify what am I getting.
153
Also, collectability.
154
If you cannot collect the money from a contract, you're basically a charity.
155
That's not really a true contract.
156
Now, sometimes you may enter into a contract and collectability from that person is susceptible because they're really shaky, but you still want to make the sale because they might...
157
pay you.
158
Under those circumstances when collectability is susceptible, you're not really sure, but you want to take your chance, then you would use cash basis accounting.
159
And what's cash basis accounting?
160
You wait until you get paid, and this is where you really recognize the revenue.
161
You would use cash basis not accrual basis not what we are learning here.
162
Now, what should you do now?
163
The best way to learn more about this is to go to my website, farhatlectures .com, and work MCQs,
164
work true -false questions, look at exercises that's going to help you reinforce the concept.
165
In the next session, we're going to be looking at step two in the contract, and that is after we have a contract,
166
we have to know what are the obligation, the performance obligation in the contract,
167
and we'll have a one session about performance determining the price, so on and so forth.
168
Invest in yourself, invest in your career.
169
Don't shortchange yourself.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
