    <title>New on the Horizon: Revenue from contracts with customers</title>
    <link>http://www.kpmg.ch/publications/19153.htm?WT.mc_id=ch_rss_IFRS_News_EN</link>
    <description>In the exposure draft ED/2010/6 Revenue from Contracts with Customers the IASB and the FASB propose a new model for revenue recognition. This will impact the revenue recognition of various fees earned by entities in the financial sector. Commission, underwriting, advisory and consulting fees, which represent a significant source of revenue for investment banks are likely to be impacted. In respect of asset managers the proposed model in the ED is expected to have an impact on the recognition of performance fees. Entities in the financial services industry are encouraged to join in the debate and to provide the IASB with their comments prior to the deadline of 22 October 2010.</description>
