Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Contract arrives upon your desk, examine every clause
Identify the written deal, scope boundaries without pause
Customer and supplier clear, payment terms defined
Enforceable by law's design, revenue intertwined
Commercial substance must exist, not just paper trails
Before you start the five-step dance, ensure nothing fails

[Chorus]
I-D-P-A-R, the sequence never bends
Identify Performance Allocate Recognize
Contract obligations price and time that flies
Five steps to revenue, memorize these ties
I-D-P-A-R keeps accounting standardized

[Verse 2]
Performance obligations next, distinct and separate goods
Services promised to fulfill, delivered as they should
Capable of benefit, customer can use alone
Or easily distinguishable from what you've already shown
Bundle or unbundle now, the judgment call is yours
Each promise gets examined through these analytical doors

[Chorus]
I-D-P-A-R, the sequence never bends
Identify Performance Allocate Recognize
Contract obligations price and time that flies
Five steps to revenue, memorize these ties
I-D-P-A-R keeps accounting standardized

[Bridge]
Transaction price determined, variable consideration weighed
Financing components separated, discounts properly displayed
Stand-alone selling prices, allocate to each part
Relative proportions guide your accounting art

[Verse 3]
Satisfaction over time or at a point complete
Control transfers to customer, the recognition beat
Measure progress carefully when time-based revenue flows
Input methods, output methods, choose what best shows
Journal entries finally made, the cycle finds its end
Revenue recognized when all five steps blend

[Chorus]
I-D-P-A-R, the sequence never bends
Identify Performance Allocate Recognize
Contract obligations price and time that flies
Five steps to revenue, memorize these ties
I-D-P-A-R keeps accounting standardized

[Outro]
From contract ink to ledger lines
IFRS fifteen defines
Revenue recognition's shrine
I-D-P-A-R divine
