Analysis
Revenue Recognition Audit for a Stockholm SaaS Scale-up
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You will receive three anonymized but realistic SaaS contract templates (a 3-year enterprise deal with implementation, a usage-based contract with tiered pricing, and a contract with a significant financing component). For each, identify distinct performance obligations, allocate transaction price using standalone selling prices, and propose a recognition schedule. Compare your treatment against the company's current straight-line approach and quantify the P&L impact for FY2024. Success means a defensible memo that an auditor would accept, with clear references to IFRS 15 paragraphs and at least one comparison to ASC 606 divergence.
