Frequently Asked Questions

Under IFRS 15, construction contracts are generally recognised over time (as the work is performed) rather than at a point in time β€” because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the contractor satisfies the performance obligation. The measure of progress can be based on inputs (costs incurred as a proportion of total estimated costs) or outputs (milestones achieved, surveys of work done). The choice of method significantly affects the timing of revenue and profit recognition.
