Report on the Implications of IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers for Parafini Ltd.

(a) (i) The Five Steps for Revenue Recognition


The five steps for revenue recognition under IFRS 15 are as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with the customer.


Parafini Ltd. should identify the contract(s) with the customer that creates enforceable rights and
obligations.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.


Parafini Ltd. should identify the distinct goods or services that need to be delivered to the customer.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.


Parafini Ltd. should determine the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for
delivering the goods or services.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Parafini Ltd. should allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its
relative standalone selling price.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Parafini Ltd. should recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by delivering goods
or services to the customer.

(ii) Performance Obligations


Performance obligations refer to the distinct goods or services that need to be delivered to the
customer under a contract. A performance obligation can be a promise to transfer a good or service
to a customer, either individually or as a package of goods or services.

(iii) Distinct Goods or Services


A good or service can be defined as distinct if it is both capable of being distinct, meaning the
customer can benefit from it on its own or with other readily available resources, and it is distinct in
the context of the contract, meaning the customer can use the good or service as intended under the
contract.

(b) Distinct Goods or Services in the Contract between Parafini Ltd. and the Customer
The distinct goods or services in the contract between Parafini Ltd. and the customer are as follows:

- The licence for the standard software product


- Technical support

The software updates and installation of the software are not distinct goods or services.
