    Accounting Standards & Regulations – 22420 – Autumn 2017
    1
    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).
    [To access AASB 15 please visit http://www.aasb.gov.au/admin/file/content105/c9/AASB15_12-

    c) report the possible impacts that the new recognition criteria will have on your chosen company's
