International Financial Reporting Standards
They are commonly known as IFRS. These are set of accounting standards which are developed by independent (Non-profit) organization called as International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These are universally accepted set of standards which state the rules and standards for accounting at global level.
Revenue recognized point of long term contract
A long-term contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time. The seller can recognize the revenue as per percentage of the completion of the project, which is recognized as revenue minus cost of completion until date.
If a contract does not meet the performance obligation norm, then the seller cannot recognize the revenue till the project is complete.
The revenue recognition principle
The revenue recognition principle refers to the revenue that should be recognized in the time period, when the performance obligation (sales or services) of the company is completed.
