  • The third step in the five-step revenue recognition approach is to: 3. Determine the transaction price

  • The fourth step in the five-step revenue recognition approach is to: 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

  • According to IFRS 15, when must revenue be recognised if it is not recognised over time?


    Revenue must be recognised at a point in time.

  • What is the primary condition for an entity to recognise revenue at a point in time under IFRS 15?
