Revenue recognized point of long term contract
A long-term contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time. The seller can recognize the revenue as per percentage of the completion of the project, which is recognized as revenue minus cost of completion until date.
If a contract does not meet the performance obligation norm, then the seller cannot recognize the revenue till the project is complete.

To explain: The manner in which IFRS and GAAP methods affect revenue recognition, cost of construction, and gross profit over the life of a profitable contract.
