Contract costs
Costs of obtaining a contract

Incremental costs that are incurred when obtaining a contract are


treated as an asset if the entity expects to recover the costs.
These costs are limited to the costs that the entity would not have
incurred if the contract had not been successfully obtained.
Incremental costs can be expensed if the associated amortisation
period would be 12 months or less.

IFRS 15
Presentation of contracts with customers

Presentation in financial statements

Contracts with customers are presented in the statement of financial


position as either a contract asset, a receivable or a contract liability,
depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and
the customer's payment.

IFRS 15
Presentation of contracts with customers
A contract asset arises where the entity has transferred a good or
service to the customer and its right to consideration is conditional on
something other than the passage of time.
A receivable is recognised when an entity's right to consideration is
unconditional because only the passage of time is required before
payment of the consideration is due.
A contract liability arises where a customer has paid consideration to
an entity (or is due to) prior to the transfer of the related goods or
services.
