NIF D-2 establishes the rules for the recognition and measurement of costs related to contracts with customers, focusing on how an entity should recognize these costs in its net profit or loss. Its scope, recognition criteria and guidelines for accounting for impairments and other relevant aspects are detailed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The objective of IFRS D-2 is to provide guidance for the recognition of costs in contracts with customers, ensuring that these are adequately reflected in the financial statements. This standard stipulates that costs should be recognized when the entity transfers control of the goods or services to the customer, which means that the contractual obligation has been fulfilled. This allows revenues and costs to be aligned, improving the representation of the profitability of the contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Costs necessary to fulfill a contract are those that an entity incurs after obtaining the contract to ensure compliance with its obligations to the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NIF D-2 also defines how recognized assets should be applied to net profit or loss according to the income generated by the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NIF D-2 also provides guidance on the impairment of capitalized costs associated with contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NIF D-2 provides a robust framework for the treatment of costs related to contracts, allowing companies to better represent the relationship between revenues and costs. This standard contributes to transparency and accuracy in financial statements, especially in those sectors where contracts have significant relevance, such as construction, services and manufacturing. Its correct application is essential to avoid errors in contract accounting, improving clarity and accuracy in the assessment of the profitability and value of each project or service offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Context:<\/strong> The company \u00abConstrucciones del Norte, S.A.\u00bb has been awarded a contract to build an office complex in Monterrey. The contract has a duration of 18 months and provides for a total payment of $10,000,000. In order to fulfill this contract, the company will incur various costs, some of which will be specific to the contract and others will be related to its general operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before obtaining the contract, the company incurred certain costs in order to win it, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting Treatment:<\/strong> According to MFRS D-2, these costs are \u201cincremental costs to obtain a contract\u201d since they would only have been incurred if the contract had been obtained. The company considers these costs to be recoverable through the value of the contract, so it recognizes them as an asset on its balance sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the contract is obtained, the company incurs several direct costs to fulfill its obligations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting Treatment:<\/strong> These costs meet the activation criteria according to paragraph 42.2 of NIF D-2, since they are directly related to the contract, they will generate resources to fulfill the obligations, they are recoverable and can be quantified reliably. The company recognizes them as an asset in its balance sheet, since they meet the criteria established for the recognition of contract fulfillment costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the contract period, \u201cConstrucciones del Norte\u201d also incurs general costs, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting Treatment:<\/strong> According to paragraph 42.6 of IFRS D-2, these costs are not directly related to the contract, so they should be recognized as expenses in the period in which they occur, rather than capitalized. In this way, it is ensured that only the contract-specific costs are capitalized, avoiding inflating the asset related to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the company completes portions of the project and transfers control of those portions to the customer, it recognizes in net income or loss the capitalized costs related to those revenues. For example, if it has completed 30% of the project at the end of the first quarter, the company would recognize 30% of the capitalized costs on its income statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting Treatment:<\/strong> According to paragraph 43.1, this application ensures that costs are recognized in the same period as revenues, more accurately reflecting the profitability of the project at each stage of its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the sixth month of the project, the client notifies the company that it may reduce the scope of the contract due to changes in its needs. As a result, the company must assess whether the capitalized costs related to the project have deteriorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting Treatment:<\/strong> In accordance with paragraph 44.1, the company evaluates capitalized costs to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds future economic benefits. If this is the case, the company must recognize an impairment loss in net profit or loss for the period.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NIF D-2 establishes the rules for the recognition and measurement of costs related to contracts with customers, focusing on how an entity should recognize these costs in its net profit or loss.
