On 26 August 2010, the Accounting Standards Council (ASC) issued INT FRS 115 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate and an Accompanying Note (AN), which is an integral part of INT FRS 115. The AN concludes that standard residential property sales meet the criteria for continuous transfer of control and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the uncompleted property units. Consequently, such sales should be accounted for using the Percentage of Completion method. For sales of real estate other than standard residential property sales, developers need to refer to the principles set out in FRS 11 Construction Contracts, FRS 18 Revenue and INT FRS 115 to determine the appropriate manner to account for such sales.
