Explanation of Solution
There are some transactions which are initiated and completed at the same time, which leads to a problem in recognizing the revenue. There are some complex transactions due to which it can be difficult to manage reporting of the transaction, as there can be an error, and is more difficult for the financial statements than any other financial reporting. If we take into account the standards for revenue recognition, there are many standards and a number of comprehensive guidance for reporting the service revenue transactions.

Though it is a comprehensive standard and applies to all the existing companies, the enhancement is necessary for comparability and consistency while reporting the revenues.
