Legal requirements and their implementation with RAR

IFRS 15 stipulates the bundling of related individual services and the revaluation of these individual services. This reform affects revenue from contracts with customers and results in changes in accounting practices. On the business side it must be decided which customer contracts should be bundled according to IFRS 15 guidelines. In addition, performance obligations must be defined. After fulfillment of those performance obligations the revenue recognition takes place. The principle-based revenue accounting according to IFRS 15 is inasmuch abstract as the principles are difficult to apply to specific circumstances.
