Description
Entities in the construction industry have previously followed FRS 11 Construction Contracts that contained specific guidance for the recognition of revenue from construction contracts. This has now been replaced by a more complex revenue standard FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
FRS 115 will be extremely difficult to apply for the construction industry due to the complex nature of its contracts. It is far more complex than the old FRS 11, and can significantly alter the pattern of revenue recognition and pattern of profit for the construction industry. It will not just be a mere accounting change but will have widespread implications to other business areas.
The webinar will discuss the additional complexities for accountants who prepare financial reports for construction entities in addition to potentially changing the pattern of revenue recognition. Auditors who need to audit construction contracts will also find this webinar relevant.
In addition, COVID-19’s accounting impact on construction contracts will also be discussed.
