IFRS 15 (here is the full standard) establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognised, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor excepts to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
