Contract Assets

 

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from arrangements whereby the right to payment is conditional on completing additional tasks or services for a performance obligation. The increase in contract assets from year end is primarily a result of consulting services projects for which revenue was recognized in the current period but has not yet been billed. No impairments to contract assets were incurred during the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Significant changes in the contract assets balances during the period were as follows:
