Deloitte comment letter on the IASB’s request for information on the post-implementation review of IFRS 15

Published on: 30 Oct 2023

We have commented on the IASB’s request for information regarding the post-implementation review of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Overall, we believe that IFRS 15 has been effective and that the core principle and the supporting five-step revenue recognition model provide a clear and suitable basis for revenue accounting.

However, we encourage the Board to make two key amendments as a result of the post-implementation review:

  • to amend IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements, to remove an inconsistency between its requirements and those of IFRS 15; and
  • to amend IFRS 15 to make clear that, when goods or services are sold within a corporate wrapper, IFRS 15 should be applied, except if the assets being sold meet the definition of a business.
