<strong>Revenue</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Telecoms</strong> – Issues In-Depth | 9<br />
1.1 In scope |<br />
1 Scope<br />
Overview<br />
The new standard applies to contracts to deliver goods or services to a customer.<br />
However, if a contract, or part of a contract, is in the scope of other specific<br />
requirements, then it falls outside the scope of the new standard. For example,<br />
a lease would be in the scope of the leasing standards. This may apply to some<br />
equipment provided to customers in a telecom contract.<br />
Furthermore, some non-monetary exchanges may be outside the scope of the<br />
new standard, which could potentially apply to exchanges of airtime or network<br />
capacity.<br />
In some cases, the new standard will be applied to part of a contract or to a<br />
portfolio of contracts. The new standard provides guidance on when it should or<br />
may be applied to these circumstances and how to apply it.<br />

Example 1 – In-scope arrangement<br />
Telco X is in the business of constructing networks and associated infrastructure<br />
<strong>for</strong> customers. Telco X enters into a contract with Company C to deliver a call<br />
center.<br />
This transaction is in the scope of the new standard, because Company C has<br />
entered into a contract to purchase an output of Telco X’s ordinary activities and is<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e considered a customer of Telco X.<br />
