Step 3: Determining the transaction price

Insights into MFRS 15

MFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ (equivalent to IFRS 15) was developed through a joint initiative by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to enhance the quality of revenue reporting under both MFRS and US GAAP. While the Standard offers comprehensive guidance on revenue recognition, its detailed provisions can be complex and challenging for financial statement preparers to implement.

Our ‘Insights into MFRS 15’ series summarises the key areas of the Standard, highlighting some areas that are challenging to apply in practice, to assist reporting entities in understanding how to apply MFRS 15’s requirements.

MFRS 15 introduced the five-step model for revenue recognition and applies specifically to contracts with customers.

This article deals with Step 3 of the five-step model, which covers determining the transaction price. For a summary of the five-step model, refer to our article ‘Insights into MFRS 15 – Overview and scope’.
