This one-page handwritten summary chart covers AS 7 Construction Contracts, a topic in CA Inter Advanced Accounting. It lays out the types of construction contracts, how contract revenue and contract costs are identified, when revenue can be recognised by stage of completion, and how losses on contracts are treated. It suits students who want a quick visual recap of the standard before revision or practice questions.
What the chart covers
The chart starts with applicability, separating contractors who build an asset owned by someone else from self-owned construction. It then classifies contracts into fixed price, cost plus and hybrid types, with the basis of remuneration for each. Contract revenue is covered through segmenting and combining contracts, including variations, claims, incentive payments and the recognition criteria for each. Contract costs and the revenue recognition rules for an outcome that is reliably measurable or not are also summarised.
How to use it for revision
Use the chart as a checklist before attempting AS 7 questions. Walk through the decision points: is the outcome reliably measurable, and does the contract need segmenting or combining. Then match each rule to a practice question. The flow-style layout helps you remember the order of steps, such as calculating stage of completion and recognising revenue only to the extent of costs incurred when no profit can be recognised.
