Revenue recognition criteria
Arguments Against
Revenue Recognition
10
Percentage-of-Completion
The percentage-of-completion recognizes
revenue by the proportion of costs incurred to
date compared with total estimated costs.
Assume that
Bayer Construction signs a $10 million contract to
construct a building.
Bayer estimates construction will take two years
and will cost $7,500,000.
This means the contract yields an expected gross
profit of $2,500,000 over two years.

Risks of Percentage-of-Completion
The percentage-of-completion method
of revenue recognition requires an
estimate of total costs.
If total construction costs are
underestimated, the percentage-ofcompletion is overestimated (the
denominator is too low) and revenue
and gross profit to date are overstated.
This uncertainty adds additional risk to
financial statement analysis.

Restructuring Expenses
Restructuring costs typically consists of
three components:
Accounting standard:
A company is required to have a formal
restructuring plan that is approved by its
board of directors before any restructuring
charges are accrued.
Also, a company must identify the relevant
employees and notify them of its plan.

Loss Carryforwards
When a company reports a loss for tax
purposes, it can carry back that loss for
up to two years to recoup previous
taxes paid.
Any unused losses can be carried
forward for up to twenty years to
reduce future taxes.
This creates a benefit (an asset) on
the tax reporting books for which there
is no corresponding financial reporting
asset and thus the company records a
deferred tax asset.
38
Valuation Allowance
Companies are required to establish a
deferred tax valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets when the future
realization of their benefits is uncertain.
The effect on financial statements is to
reduce reported assets, increase tax
expense, and reduce equity.
These effects are reversed if the
allowance is reversed in the future
when realization of these tax benefits
becomes more likely.

Accounting Quality
Reliability
Balance sheet numbers represent economic
reality.
Income statement numbers reflect economic
earnings.
Reported cash flows accurately portray all of the
cash that flowed in and out of the company during
the period.
Relevance
Reported earnings and cash flow numbers can be
used to forecast the amount and timing of future
earnings and cash flows.
Footnotes provide additional quantitative and

Global Accounting
Revenue Recognition
U.S. GAAP has specific guidance about what
constitutes revenue, how revenue is measured,
and the timing of its recognition. IFRS is not
specific about the timing and measurement of
revenue recognition and does not provide
industry-specific guidance.
A U.S. GAAP revenue-recognition criterion is that
the sales price be fixed or determinable. IFRS
considers the probability that economic benefits
will flow to the seller and records such benefits
as revenue if they can be reliably measured.
For multiple-element contracts, both U.S. GAAP
and IFRS allocate revenue based on relative fair

R&D
U.S. GAAP expenses all R&D costs
IFRS allows capitalization and
subsequent amortization of certain
development costs.

Restructuring Expenses
Under IFRS, restructuring expense is recognized
when there is a binding contract or a plan for
the restructuring and if the affected employees
expect the plan to be implemented.
Under IFRS, compensation for employees who
will be terminated is recognized when
employees are deemed redundant.
Under IFRS, a restructuring provision is recorded
at its best estimate. This is usually the expected
value.
The U.S. GAAP estimate is at the most-likely
outcome

Global Accounting
Income Taxes
Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS recognize
deferred tax assets for timing
differences and unused tax losses.
Under IFRS, deferred tax assets on
employee stock options are computed
based on the options intrinsic value at
each reporting date. In contrast, GAAP
uses historical value.

Global Accounting
Extraordinary Item
Separate reporting of extraordinary
items is not permitted under IFRS.
US GAAP permits recognition of
extraordinary items.
When comparing U.S. GAAP to IFRS, we
include any extraordinary items with
other expenses, according to their
function.
