Krajowy Standard Rachunkowości nr 15 jako przejaw wzmocnienia znaczenia informacyjnego rachunkowości w Polsce
National Accounting Standard No. 15 as an expression of strengthening the informative importance of accounting in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Revenue from the sale of goods is an important component of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (income statement) and at the same time an inherent part of the busi- ness model. The aim of the article is to identify premises proving the strengthening of the informative importance of financial statements in connection with the implementation of KSR 15. The article indi- cates that, on the one hand, unlike IFRS 15, the Polish standard does not consistently distinguish between revenue from the sale of goods recognized at a point in time or over time. However, on the other hand, in order to correctly recognise these revenues, the new standard requires i.a. an analysis of the commercial substance of the contract concluded between the supplier and the buyer of the goods. Such focus on contracts with customers may enable to assess the implementation of the business model on the basis of the financial statements by e.g. identifying different performance obligations (despite the absence of specific contractual provisions) under the same contract and allocat- ing remuneration to them. Despite the indicated difference in relation to IFRS 15, it can be considered that KSR 15 is an expression of the impact of international standards on accounting in Poland and the strengthening its informative importance.
