Pranchisce [License 216 Franchise ‘The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework: 1. Identify the contract with a customer 2. Identify all the individual performance obligations within the contract 3. Determine the transaction price 4, Allocate the price to the performance obligations 5. Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are fulfilled ‘The specific provision of the standards that deals with the accounting for franchise can be found on the licensing topic of PFRS 15. A Franchise is a type of license that a party (franchisee) acquires to allow them to have access to a business (the franchisor) proprietary knowledge, processes and trademarks in order to allow the party to sell a product or provide a service under the business name. Two types of Franchise 1. Acontract between two private entities or individuals. 2. A contract between private entity or an individual and the government. Under the licensing section of PFRS 15, the promise to grant the license must be determined first whether the license of Intellectual Property (IP) is distinct or not because PFRS 15 includes specific application guidance for distinct licenses of IP. For licenses that are not distinct, an entity will follow the general requirements in the standards to account for all promises as a single performance obligation (that contains a license and at least one other good or service). For distinct licenses of IP, the promise to grant a license is treated as a separate performance obligation from other promises in the contract. An entity must determine whether the license transfers to the customer at a point in time or over time by considering the nature of the promise to the customer. The standard states that entities provide their customers with either: - A right to access the’ entity’s intellectual property as it exists throughout the license period, including any changes to that intellectual property, which is recognized as revenue over time. ‘Therefore, the consideration received is recognized as revenue over the license period. Franchisee [License 217 A right to use the entity’s intellectual property as it exists at the point in time when the license is granted, which is recognized as revenue at a point in time. Therefore, the consideration received is recognized as revenue at the time the license is provided. pight to Access (Over Time| customer has the right to access the entity's IP as it exists throughout the The *- period if the customer cannot direct the use of, and obtain substantially aa the remaining benefits from, the license at the point in time at which the license is granted. alicense is a promise to provide a right to access if all of the following criteria met: ‘ tthe contract requires, or the customer reasonably expects, that the entity "ill undertake activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights. 9, The rights granted by the license directly expose the customer to any positive or negative effects of the entity’s activities. . The entity’s activities do not result in the transfer of a good or a service to the customer as those activities occurs (i.e., they do not represent a separate performance obligation). Although not determinative, the existence of a shared economic interest between the parties (e.g., sales or usage-based royalties) may be an indicator that the customer has a reasonable expectation that the entity will undertake such activities. Right to Use (At a Point in Time) The customer has the right to access the entity’s IP as it exists throughout the license period if the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the license at the point in time at which the license is granted. Ifthe license does not meet all three criteria, the license agreement provides a right to use the license and the entity would recognize revenue at the point in time when the control of the license transfers to the customer. Sales Based or Usage Based Royalties The standard provides explicit application guidance for recognizing sales-based and usage-based royalties from licenses of IP. Specifically, the standard creates an exception to the requirement to estimate variable consideration for transactions that involve sales and usage-based royalties resulting from the Franchisee [License 218 licenses of IP. As a result, these amounts are only recognized at the later of when; 1. The sale or usage occurs or 2. The performance obligations (to which some or all of the sales or usage. based royalties have been allocated) have been satisfied (or partially satisfied). This exception may result in an accounting treatment that is similar to current practice. FRANCHISE REVENUES 1.
