Ledger Notes · FAR Section
Ch. 4 — ASC 606 Revenue Recognition
The Five-Step Model
Identify the contract with a customer
Identify the performance obligations
Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price
Recognize revenue when (or as) obligations are satisfied
Example: Software License + Support Bundle
| Account | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts Receivable | 120,000 | |
| Revenue — Software License | 100,000 | |
| Deferred Revenue — Support | 20,000 | |
| → License recognized immediately (point in time); support recognized over 12 months (over time) | ||
🧠 Mnemonic
"I.I.D.A.R."
Identify contract · Identify obligations · Determine price · Allocate price · Recognize revenue
Examiner Insight
FAR MCQs frequently test Step 2 (identifying separate performance obligations). The license + support bundle is a classic exam scenario.
Relative standalone selling price method: always allocate based on SSP ratios, not contract price ratios.
"Over time" recognition requires one of three criteria. Most support/maintenance contracts qualify via the third criterion (no alternative use + right to payment).

I studied for FAR in the hour after my kids went to bed. Ledger's notes cut my prep from 180 hours to under 110. The ASC 606 chapter alone saved me three study sessions I genuinely didn't have.

I came into AUD with zero audit background. The PEARLS mnemonic and the risk assessment walkthroughs are what got me through. Passed with a 79 on my second try — I genuinely believe I'd have needed a third without these notes.

The ACCA F3 mnemonic deck is the reason I passed my first paper. I'd been reading the BPP textbook for weeks and nothing was sticking. Ledger's cards clicked in two evenings. My tutor asked what changed.
