Hello and welcome to the session in which we would look at revenue recognition.

What is revenue recognition?

Revenue recognition is when do we recognize revenue?

When do we record revenue?

Revenue is one of the most important figures for companies.

Revenue drives everything else on the financial statements.

It's called the top line for a reason.

It is the top line and it's the most important.

It drives your earnings before interest and taxes.

It drives your earnings per share, exist without revenue or they might be able to exist for a short period of time,

very short period of time, if the investors kept investing money.

But without revenue, you can't have a profit.

Without revenues, you should not be incurring any expenses.

So revenue is important.

And in the real world, revenue is subject to fraud.

So that's why revenue recognition is important.

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.

That's in the U .S.

Globally, IFRS had only one general standard and some limited guidance.

So what they decided to do, they decided to combine and create one set of revenue recognition for both U .S and IFRS.

contract with customers and the key word is contract we need to talk a little bit more about contract.

So the purpose of this convergence is to improve comparability across countries,

companies, industries, because if investors wants to learn about Sony's revenue,

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.

The purpose also is to simplify the preparation of financial statement and also help the users understand how revenue is recognized.

Specifically, they used something called the asset liability approach.

And this approach said that revenue is driven by measurement of assets and liabilities arising from the contract.

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.

For example, account receivable, do you have,

do you expect, you have a legal expectation because of this contract.

So this is what they said.

The contract will drive this asset liability, what's called asset liability approach.

So revenue is driven by how the contract is changing your assets and your liabilities.

Specifically, they have five steps of revenue recognition.

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.

In this session, I will cover one step of them,

and that's So let's assume Tesla entered into a contract to sell the Model Y for 75 ,000.

This is the Model Y to be delivered 60 days from today.

First thing is that we have a contract.

Well, the answer is yes, we have a contract.

Maybe the customer went online to Tesla and input the information, and that's the contract.

Or maybe the customer walked into Tesla's dealership in one of the malls in the US and signed some paperwork.

So somehow there is a contract.

Does it have to be in writing?

We'll talk about the contract later on on the next slide.

But the point is there is a contract.

There is an agreement between a buyer and Tesla.

That's the first thing.

The second thing is the contract will have to identify the separate performance obligation in the contract.

Now for the sake of simplicity, there's only one performance obligation and that is what?

Tesla has to deliver the car to the customer.

That's it.

So identify the separate there's only one because we're keeping this example simple.

One obligation and that's to deliver the car.

Now if we for example

if Tesla will would want to sell a maintenance agreement on the vehicle then that will be a separate

separate performance obligation

but here we're assuming one obligation step three in the count

in the in the revenue recognition five step process is determine

the transaction price that's easy the transaction price is 75 000

we're going to have a whole session about determining the transaction price

which is because it's sometime it's not as straightforward

or simple then we're going to allocate once we determine the

price once we determine the price we're going to allocate the

price to the to the up to the obligation to the separate performance obligation One thing here, one price, one obligation, it's easy.

So the 75 ,000 is toward the car.

And Tesla would recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

They only have one and that one is to deliver the car.

So revenue is recognized when Tesla performed the obligation.

And when does Tesla perform the obligation?

They're hoping 60 days from today they will perform the obligation.

and cover step one I would like to remind you whether you are a student

or a CPA candidate to take a look at my website farhatlectures .com my motto is saving CPA candidate

and accounting students one at a time by providing new resources

and this is a partial list of all my accounting courses intermediate international governmental

or the tax so on and so forth I provide your lectures

and multiple choice my CPA material is aligned with your backer Wiley gleam or miles, I also give you access to 1 ,500.

Originally released, previously originally released, AICPA questions with detailed solution.

If you have not connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so, take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation.

Like this recording, share it with others, connect with me on Instagram.

I'm trying to grow my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.

So let's now dive a little bit more into step one, identify the contract with customer.

Well, what is a contract?

That's the first thing we need to know.

Well, it's an agreement that create enforceable rights and obligation.

Two parties agree to the contract.

You cannot have a contract with one party agreeing if the other party don't agree.

If you want to sell me something, you send me a contract.

Well, you send me the contract.

You signed it.

Well, if I didn't sign the contract, there is no agreement.

So it has to be by both parties.

And the contract doesn't have to be in writing.

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.

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.

You don't need a contract to do that.

So basically, or you don't even have to talk to anyone.

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.

170

Go to Farhat, subscribe.

171

try it for a month you like it you keep it

172

if it's helping you if not you let it go good luck study hard and of course stay safe

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
