Accounting Treatment of Revenue Recognition

As per the Woolworths criteria of IFRS, for recognizing revenue, the given conditions should be satisfied:

1. Rewards and risks of ownership have been transported from the vendor to the consumer.
2. The control of the seller loses over the sold goods
3. The payment collection from services or goods is reasonably certain.
4. The revenue amount could be sensibly measured (Alneyadi, et al., 2021).
5. Revenue cost could be effectively measured.

Revenue recognition is particularly concerned with the specific timing of revenue recognition in the profit and loss enterprise of Woolworths Group.

When some uncertainties occur related to the determination of the particular amount, or its related costs then these kinds of uncertainties might affect the revenue timing. The main criteria to determine when revenue should be recognized from the transaction including the goods sale are that the vendor has mainly transferred the particular property in the products to the consumer for consideration. Situations might arise where the transportation of property in products does not mainly concur with the transportation of rewards and risks of ownership (Massaro, et al., 2016).
