  3. Determining the Transaction Price
  4. Price Allocation
  5. Revenue Recognition (as or when Performance occurs)
Type of Performance Example Recognition

Variable consideration: included unless renegotiated.
Contract assets/liabilities – reflected in advances and revenue.

IFRS 16 — Leases

A lease is the transfer of the right to use an asset for compensation.

Accounting by the lessee:

  • Right-of-use asset
  • Lease liability

At the commencement date: PV of lease payments = cost of the asset.

Model Essence Exceptions
