Facing the challenges<br />

The new revenue standard is having a profound effect across the telecommunications<br />

sector.<br />

The past two years have seen telecom companies wrestle with implementation<br />

issues. Every day brings new questions and new insights, which are – sometimes<br />

quite hotly – discussed and debated in various <strong>for</strong>ums globally.<br />

We are helping our clients to navigate through this period and we’ve gained<br />

extensive experience applying the new revenue standard around the world. And<br />

we are delighted to share this experience with you in this publication. It builds on<br />

the discussions to provide preparers, users and auditors with a comprehensive and<br />

illustrated understanding of how to apply the new standard to common transactions.<br />

Whether you are just starting to assess the impact of the new requirements or are<br />

at an advanced stage with your implementation project, this publication will provide<br />

you with the insight that you need into the implementation issues that telecom<br />

companies are facing.<br />

With the effective date of 2018 rapidly approaching, time is running out. If you have<br />

yet to begin your implementation of the new requirements, we urge you to start<br />

as a matter of priority and to engage with investors and other stakeholders to build<br />

expectations of how your key per<strong>for</strong>mance indicators or business practices may<br />

change.<br />

Please speak to your usual KPMG contact if you are facing implementation challenges<br />

or would like to discuss any other accounting issues.<br />
