Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition criteria

realized or realizable, and


earned

Realized or realizable means that


the sellers net assets (assets less
liabilities) increase.
Earned means that the seller has
performed its duties under the terms
of the sales agreement.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

Arguments Against
Revenue Recognition

Rights of return exist


Consignment sales
Continuing involvement by seller
Contingency sales

Pfizers Revenue Recognition Policy


Pfizer recognizes its revenues as follows:

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

Revenue Recognition Under IFRS


Revenue is generally recognized under
both U.S. GAAP and IFRS when the
earning process is complete.
There is extensive guidance under U.S.
GAAP for specific industry transactions.
That guidance is not present in IFRS.
In addition, public companies in the
U.S. must follow additional guidance
set by the SEC
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

Apples Revenue Recognition Policy


Net sales consist primarily of revenue from the sale of hardware, software, digital content
and applications, peripherals, and service and support contracts. The Company recognizes
revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the
sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probableThe Company records
deferred revenue when it receives payments in advance of the delivery of products or the
performance of servicesRevenue from AppleCare service and support contracts is
deferred and recognized over the service coverage periods.
Revenue Recognition for Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
For multi-element arrangements that include hardware products containing software
essential to the hardware products functionality, undelivered software elements that relate
to the hardware products essential software, and undelivered non-software services, the
Company allocates revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling pricesThe
Company has identified up to three deliverables regularly included in arrangements
involving the sale of these devices. The first deliverable is the hardware and software
essential to the functionality of the hardware device delivered at the time of sale. The
second deliverable is the embedded right included with the purchase of iOS devices, Mac
and Apple TV to receive on a when-and-if-available basis, future unspecified software
upgrades and features relating to the products essential software. The third deliverable is
the non-software services to be provided to qualifying versions of iOS devices and Mac.
The Company allocates revenue between these deliverables using the relative selling price
method.

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.

The following table summarizes construction


costs incurred each year and the revenue
Bayer recognizes.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

15

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.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

16

Recognition of Unearned Revenue


Deposits or advance payments are not
recorded as revenue until the company
performs the services owed or delivers
the goods.
Until then, the companys balance
sheet shows the advance payment as a
liability (called unearned revenue or
deferred revenue) because the
company is obligated to deliver those
products and services.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

17

Recognition of Unearned Revenue


Assume that
Apple sells 60 iPads for $36,000 cash
Of the $36,000 in cash that Apple receives, it
deems that $600 should be allocated to the next
24-month period because it relates to unspecified
and specified software upgrade rights.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

18

Microsofts Unearned Revenue


Microsoft reports $22.4 billion of unearned
revenue in 2013. the company describes its
recognition policy as follows:
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Revenue generally
is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and
subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Certain volume licensing arrangements include a perpetual license for current products
combined with rights to receive unspecified future versions of software products
(Software Assurance), which we have determined are additional software products and
are therefore accounted for as subscriptions, with billings recorded as unearned revenue
and recognized as revenue ratably over the coverage period.
Revenue from cloud-based services arrangements that allow for the use of a hosted
software product or service over a contractually determined period of time without taking
possession of software are accounted for as subscriptions with billings recorded as
unearned revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the coverage period beginning
on the date the service is made available to customers.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

19

New Revenue Recognition Standard


The FASB has proposed a new revenue recognition
standard that will become effective in 2017.
Under the proposed standard, revenue recognition
should occur when (or as) a good or service is
transferred to the customer and the customer obtains
control of that good or service.
These new revenue recognition rules are similar to the
rules for multi-element contracts.
Companies must identify separate performance
obligations within a contract and account for each
individually.
For construction projects the new rules will likely yield
results similar to the percentage-of completion
accounting method.

Research and Development (R&D)


Expenses
Expense all R&D costs as incurred
unless those assets have alternative
future uses (in other R&D projects or
otherwise).
For example, a general research facility
housing multi-use lab equipment is
capitalized and depreciated like any
other depreciable asset.
However, project-directed research
buildings and equipment with no
alternate uses must be expensed.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

26

Analysis of R&D Expense


R&D costs for wages and general purpose PPE
are accounted for as they normally are. Only
the expensing of PPE with no alternate use
differs.
Capitalizing and depreciating/amortizing R&D
costs is not advisable as the depreciation or
amortization period is arbitrary.
Recommendations:
Compare R&D/Sales for comparable companies
Evaluate discussion of R&D effectiveness in the
MD&A, financial press, and company
communication.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

27

Restructuring Expenses
Restructuring costs typically consists of
three components:

Employee severance or relocation costs


Asset write-downs
Other (i.e., contract termination costs, legal
expenses, etc.)

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.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

28

Restructuring Expenses
In each subsequent year, the company
must disclose in its footnotes

the original amount of the liability (accrual),


how much of that liability is settled in the
current period (such as employee
payments),
how much of the original liability has been
reversed because of cost overestimation,
any new accruals for unforeseen costs, and
the current balance of the liability.

This creates more transparent financial


statements, which presumably deters
earnings management.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

29

Analysis of Restructuring Costs


Employee severance or relocation
costs - overstatements are followed
by a reversal of the restructuring
liability, and understatements are
followed by further accruals.
Asset write-downs - prior periods
profits are arguably not as high as
reported, and the current periods profit
is not as low.

Explain and analyze


accounting for income taxes.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

32

Income Tax Expense


Companies maintain two sets of
accounting records,
one for preparing financial statements for
external constituents, including current
and prospective shareholders, and
another for reporting to tax authorities.

Two sets of accounting records are


necessary because the U.S. tax code is
different from GAAP.

36

Deferred Tax Liabilities and Assets


Deferred tax liabilities arise when
the net book value of liabilities is less for
financial reporting than for tax reporting, or
when the net book value of assets is greater
for financial reporting than for tax reporting.

Deferred tax assets arise when


the net book value of liabilities is greater for
financial reporting than for tax reporting, or
when the net book value of assets is smaller
for financial reporting than for tax reporting.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

37

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.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

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.
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

39

Income Tax Footnotes


Income tax expense reported in its
income statement (called the provision)
consists of the following two
components (organized by federal,
state and foreign):
Current tax expense - the amount
payable (in cash) to tax authorities
Deferred tax expense - the effect on tax
expense from changes in deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

Foreign Currency Translation


A change in the strength of the $US vis-vis foreign currencies affects reported
income in the following manner:
Changes in foreign currency exchange
rates have a direct effect on the $US
equivalent for revenues, expenses, and
income of the foreign subsidiary because
revenues and expenses are translated at
the average exchange rate for the period.

Operating Income Below the Line


Two categories of items are presented
below-the-line:
Discontinued operations Net income
(loss) from business segments that have
been or will be sold, and any gains (losses)
on net assets related to those segments
sold in the current period.
Extraordinary items Gains or losses from
events that are both unusual and
infrequent.

Write-down or write-off of operating or nonoperating
assets
Foreign currency gains and losses
Gains and losses from disposal of specific assets or
business segment
Effects of a strike
Accrual adjustments related to long-term contracts
Costs of a takeover defense
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

52

Extraordinary Items Under IFRS


IFRS does not permit the reporting of income and
expense items as extraordinary.
The IASB justified its position in IAS1 as follows:
The Board decided that items treated as extraordinary
result from the normal business risks faced by an entity
and do not warrant presentation in a separate
component of the income statement. The nature or
function of a transaction or other event, rather than its
frequency, should determine its presentation within the
income statement. Items currently classified as
extraordinary are only a subset of the items of income
and expense that may warrant disclosure to assist users
in predicting an entitys future performance (IAS1).

Accounting Quality
Read both reports from the external auditor and take
special note of any deviation from boilerplate language.
Peruse the footnote on accounting policies and
compare the companys policies to its industry peers.
Examine changes in accounting policies.
Compare key ratios over time.
Review ratios of competitors
Identify nonrecurring items and separately assess their
impact on company performance and position.
Recast financial statements as necessary to reflect an
accounting policy that is more in line with competitors
or one that better reflects economically relevant
numbers.

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

Global Accounting
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
Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

64

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.

Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015

65

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.
