Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When a customer comes knocking with a deal to make
First you identify the contract that's at stake
Written or oral, enforceable and clear
Rights and payment terms must all appear
Commercial substance with collection probable
Step one complete, now we're getting notable

[Chorus]
I-D-A-L-R, five steps to get it right
Identify, Determine, Allocate with sight
Locate the price and Recognize with care
IFRS fifteen keeps revenue fair
I-D-A-L-R, remember every night
Revenue recognition done just right

[Verse 2]
Step two demands we dig a little deeper now
Performance obligations, let me show you how
Distinct goods or services the customer can use
Separately identifiable, they get to choose
Bundle or separate, make the call today
Each obligation lights the revenue way

[Chorus]
I-D-A-L-R, five steps to get it right
Identify, Determine, Allocate with sight
Locate the price and Recognize with care
IFRS fifteen keeps revenue fair
I-D-A-L-R, remember every night
Revenue recognition done just right

[Verse 3]
Transaction price in step three takes the center stage
Variable consideration on the payment page
Constraints and estimates, significant reversal test
Time value adjustments put your skills to the test
Non-cash considerations at their fair value
Step three's foundation keeps us sailing true

[Bridge]
Relative standalone selling price
Allocate to each obligation nice
Residual approach when prices aren't clear
Observable evidence keeps us sincere

[Verse 4]
Step four allocation spreads the wealth around
Standalone selling prices must be clearly found
Relative proportions make the math precise
Each obligation gets its proper slice
Variable consideration follows the same rule
Allocation methods are the accountant's tool

[Chorus]
I-D-A-L-R, five steps to get it right
Identify, Determine, Allocate with sight
Locate the price and Recognize with care
IFRS fifteen keeps revenue fair
I-D-A-L-R, remember every night
Revenue recognition done just right

[Verse 5]
Step five's the moment when we recognize at last
Over time or point in time, control must pass
Customer controls the asset or the benefit received
Three criteria help determine what we've achieved
Progress measurement keeps the timing true
Revenue recognition, we made it through

[Outro]
From contract to completion, five steps guide our way
IFRS fifteen principles will never lead astray
I-D-A-L-R, the model tried and true
Revenue recognition, now we're through
