- Definition

The amount of assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil contracts with customers. The costs to obtain a contract with a customer are the incremental costs of obtaining the contract that the entity would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are the costs that relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify.
