Discuss the logic of recognizing revenue at completion of production.(Refer to the study quiz below)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Accounting theory and current issues
An organization believes that it is subject to scrutiny by particular interest groups such as employee unions because it is earning overrated profits.
Do you think that this might influence whether the company prefers to recognise revenue over time for its construction contracts, or whether it would prefer to defer profit recognition until the completion of the project? Using this case, discuss whether it be appropriate to recognise revenue at completion of production rather than at the point of sale?
