Consignment Sales

Chapter 9
Introduction
An entity applies PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to
account for revenues from contracts with customers. PFRS 15 supersedes
PAS 18 Revenue
DEFINITION CONSIGNMENT ARRANGEMENT

 An entity (called the ‘consignor’) delivers goods to other party (called


the ‘consignee’) who undertakes to sell the goods to end customers on
behalf of the consignor.
 A consignor recognizes revenue only when the consigned goods are
EXAMPLE sold to end customers. The revenue recognized is the gross amount of
the sale price agreed with the consignee.
 Consigned goods are included in the consignor’s inventory.
 Freight and other incidental costs of transferring consigned goods to
the consignee form part of the cost of the consigned goods.

DEFINITION PRINCIPAL VERSUS AGENT
CONSIDERATION
PFRS 15 provides the following additional guidance in accounting for
consignment arrangements:
 When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a
customer, the entity shall determine whether it is acting as a principal
or agent.
EXAMPLE
 The entity is a principal if it controls the good or service before the
good or service is transferred to the customer.
 A principal may personally satisfy a performance obligation or it may
engage another party (for example, a subcontractor) to satisfy some or
all of a performance obligation on its behalf. When the performance
CONSIDERATION obligation is satisfied, the principal recognizes revenue at the gross
amount of consideration.
 The entity is an agent if its performance obligation is to arrange the
provision of goods or services by another party. When the performance
obligation is satisfied, the agent recognizes revenue at the commission
or fee to which it is entitled.
DEFINITION PRINCIPAL VERSUS AGENT
CONSIDERATION
The following are indicators that an entity is an agent (and therefore does
not control the good or service before it is provided to a customer):
 Another party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract;
 The entity does not have inventory risk before or after the goods have
EXAMPLE been ordered by a customer, during shipping or on return;
 The entity does not have discretion in establishing prices for the other
party’s goods or services and, therefore, the benefit that the entity can
receive from those goods or services is limited;
 The entity’s consideration is in the form of a commission; and
CONSIDERATION  The entity is not exposed to credit risk for the amount receivable from a
customer in exchange for the other party’s goods or services.
