The IASB has published for consultation a proposal to defer the effective date of the revenue Standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Feedback on the ED Effective Date of IFRS 15 (Proposed amendments to IFRS 15) is required by 3 July 2015.
The revenue Standard was issued jointly with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), in May 2014, with an effective date of 1 January 2017.
The main reason for the proposed deferral of the effective date is that the IASB is planning to issue an Exposure Draft of targeted amendments to the Standard, which will include clarifying some of its requirements and adding illustrative examples to aid implementation. These targeted amendments arise from discussions of the joint Transition Resource Group (TRG), established in conjunction with the FASB to support the implementation of the Standard. The FASB is also currently consulting on a proposal to defer the effective date of its revenue Standard by one year.
