IFRS 15 distinguishes contract liability, contract receivable, and contract assets through the nature of an entity’s rights and obligations regarding consideration from customers. Contract liability represents the obligation to transfer goods or services when consideration has been received or is due. Contract receivable reflects an unconditional right to consideration, determined by whether only the passage of time is required for payment. Contract assets capture conditional rights to consideration for goods or services already transferred, where the right depends on factors beyond time, such as the entity’s future performance. The document also explains practical recognition and reclassification, including invoiced revenue leading to receivables and revenue earned but not invoiced resulting in contract assets, with subsequent reclassification when rights become unconditional.
