Under FSBU 9/2025, recognising revenue by stage of completion becomes mandatory for all companies, not only for contractors under long-term construction contracts.

Accounting under PBU 9/99 and PBU 2/2008

Recognising revenue by stage of completion is mandatory for contractors and subcontractors under long-term construction contracts. For other contracts, it is an option for the organisation.

Accounting under FSBU 9/2025

Recognising revenue by stage of completion becomes mandatory for all companies when:

  • under the terms of the contract, the obligation to transfer products to the counterparty is performed over a period longer than one reporting period;
  • the extent to which the obligation to transfer products to the counterparty has been performed can be measured.

What to do before 1 January 2027

  • identify the contracts continuing into 2027 for which revenue must be recognised by stage of completion;
  • calculate the adjustments to be recorded in the accounts and financial statements on transition to FSBU 9/2025.
