FRS 115 supersedes INT FRS 113 Customer loyalty programs.

Similar to INT FRS 113, an entity should determine that whether the loyalty program is a performance obligation.

If the program is a performance obligation, the entity should allocate the transaction price to the program based on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. If the stand-alone selling price for a customer’s option to acquire additional goods or services is not directly observable, an entity shall estimate it.

Under FRS 11 Construction Contracts , both contract revenue and contract costs that are accounted for using the POC method are recognised with reference to the stage of completion.

Under FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognised using a measure depicting performance using an input or an output measure. A contractor applying the input measure excludes the effect of inputs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to customer (e.g. unexpected amounts of wasted materials, labour and any uninstalled materials).

Costs on the other hand, are expensed as incurred unless they qualify to be capitalised as an asset under another standard (e.g. inventory, property, plant and equipment) or they relate to incremental cost to obtain the contract or future performance.

2. Identifies the separate performance obligations.
3. Determines the transaction price.
4. Allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations.
5. Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
