Revenue is one of the largest and most value-relevant items in firms’ financial statements. For accounting, the revenue number is often a determination of company value and affects key financial measurements and indicators. Issues at Tesco plc in 2014 and Toshiba inrelating to revenue recognition practices highlight the problem of misreporting revenue, especially relating to timing and the price of goods and services. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has evolved as a result of cooperation between IASB and FASB in order to tackle many of these revenue recognition issues.
While taking on the role of a financial analyst, you will produce an academic journal-style consultancy report on the issue of revenue recognition. Marks will be given for demonstrating a clear understanding of the theoretical background, as well as for the application of that information. Consequently, it is important to ensure that you integrate the practical illustration and theoretical viewpoints by demonstrating an evaluation of the differing theoretical viewpoints and their consequences in practice.
You must identify, locate and utilise SECONDARY evidence and data to ground, support and underpin your evaluation. Please note you are NOT to collect primary data.
You must use the information and knowledge gained from a critical review of literature to ground and underpin your analysis and evaluation.
The marks will be awarded based on the assessment criteria and so it is vital that you refer to these.
The coursework is to be 3,000 words in length, plus or minus 10%, excluding references and a bibliography.
A clear indication and proof of research will benefit the marks awarded.
Marks will be awarded for presentation, clarity and the quality of written English.Critically assess the implementation issues and challenges of revenue recognition policies in your chosen organisation(s)/industry/economy. (3000 words max)
