PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under PFRS
15, revenue is recognized at amount that reflect the consideration which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers.
The principles in PFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue.
1 Audit teams may identify relevant controls as regard an entity’s adoption of PFRS 15; thus, should refer to CONTROLS for considerations on controls. Guide to auditing IFRS 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers in the Appendix may also provide additional materials with regard controls. References to control testing in this document are contained in brackets – [*].
2 Further materials which guide teams in auditing and accounting considerations of PFRS 15 implementation are in the Appendix.

3 Key items are items that are individually significant to a significant class of transactions (SCOT) or significant account balance. Key items can be significant because of their size — that is, there is a risk of material misstatement simply because these items are so
large — or due to qualitative risk factors. Because key items are not representative of the population as a whole, the results of our testing of these items cannot be projected to the rest of the population. It is important to consider and document our consideration of
both types of key items when designing our procedures and why we believe these items are not representative of the population. Guidance on key items can be found in SUBSTANTIVE TOD 2.1.

C. Test of details
When the evidence obtained from the substantive analytical procedures is insufficient to
conclude upon the account balance, perform tests of details. Perform procedures to verify
the existence and valuation of contract cost assets and determine whether they are
recorded in accordance with the entity’s accounting policies and the applicable financial
reporting framework (e.g., PFRS 15).
1. Evaluate whether:
a. Costs capitalized are included in the cost guidance in accordance with the
applicable financial reporting framework
b. The entity has appropriately recognized a contract cost asset for costs
incurred related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract
c. For costs to obtain, the entity appropriately capitalized the costs by
understanding the nature of the compensation plan (or other applicable
source of cost to obtain) and determined the costs capitalized were
incremental to obtaining the contract and expected to be recorded by the
entity

d. For costs to fulfill, the entity appropriately capitalized the costs by

evaluating whether they were (1) directly related to the contract or
anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify, (2) the costs
generated or enhanced the resources of the entity that will be used in
satisfying performance obligations in the future and (3) the costs are
expected to be recovered
e. The contract cost asset is appropriately classified on the balance sheet
2. Evaluate the results of our test of details to determine whether the evidence
obtained has provided a reasonable basis for a conclusion about the population
tested.
Note:
For key items, record any misstatements on our summary of audit differences as factual
misstatements.
For the representative sample, when we have determined that identified misstatements are
representative of the population, project the known representative misstatements to the
entire population. Record the projected representative misstatement on our summary of
audit differences.

3. When an impairment loss has been recorded, perform procedures to test the
amount and the timing of the impairment recorded. Evaluate whether the
impairment calculation and the underlying data is sufficiently reliable for our

reliable information that may contradict management’s estimate and assertions.
