Proposed approach and
deliverables
SLFRS 15
Our customized approach (SLFRS 15) - overview
• This approach is explained below :

IMPACT ASSESSMENT

• The first step is to perform a high-level assessment of your organization’s readiness for
implementing the new standard. A detailed accounting gap analysis may uncover several issues that
must be addressed. Even if there is no expectation of significant changes to the revenue recognition
pattern, the standard calls for several new disclosures.
• Perform an 'as-is' assessment of:
— current accounting policies, disclosure and reporting requirements
— data and information requirements, internal controls

Key considerations
We have learned that it is important to approach the SLFRS 15 implementation as a broad, business-based initiative and not just as an accounting
exercise. The transition to SLFRS 15 will most likely trigger the need for modifying or overhauling multiple systems and informational warehouses, and
require significant cross-organisation training and process/internal control changes.

Therefore it is important to ensure sponsorship by the board and to involve local management at an early stage to make them aware of the significance of
the project and to ensure their full support and cooperation in this exercise. We recommend to not cut corners during the gap assessment: any
accounting issues, disclosures in this phase can significantly harm the implementation efforts and timetable later. Managing the issues well early on can
significantly reduce the risk of delays.
