Accounting Standards & Regulations – 22420 – Autumn 2017

ASR Assignment 1 (20%)
Background
During May 2014 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued IFRS 15 revenue from Contracts with customers which is applicable from 1 January 2018
(early adoption is permitted). Accordingly, in December 2014 the AASB issued AASB 15 which will replace AASB
111 and ASB 118 (and AASB 1004 which deals with non-for profits).
