Options For Revenue Recognition (Event License Fees)
www.witsa.org22
1) Revenue recognized when contract is signed
2) Recognize Revenue upon receipt of payment/s
3) Recognize revenue over length of agreement
4) Recognize after the event
Burdette Smith & Bish, LLC has reviewed all the documents received for the WITSA Event Licensing agreement and has had multiple conversations with management. Based on this information, in accordance with GAAP, BSB has recommended that WITSA realize event revenue when cash is received as opposed to when a contract is signed; throughout the term of a contract or after the event occurs.
Accountant’s Review (1 of 2)
www.witsa.org23
Our recommendation is partially based on the fact that once WITSA Licensing cash is received it is not refundable. Furthermore, the revenue received is not dependent on products or services being rendered by WITSA to realize the licensing fee. WITSA does not recognize the revenue when the contract is signed because the signing of the contract does not ensure the receipt of total fee. Should a country decide not to hold an event, WITSA, at the discretion of management, may or may not pursue this country for any unpaid fees. Therefore there is an uncertainty related to the licensing agreement that does not expire until the cash is received.

Using AMETIC R&D activities that facilitate consortiums between companies of the ICT sector as a platform to attract new associates. For example, offer a special fee "to partner with AMETIC or a semester" for those who access our R&D services. This could be
a very attractive offer; especially for the SME’s.

Each activity according to the criterion.
Criteria for Activities
www.witsa.org63
Value to members. As WITSA is a member driven organization we must consider whatever we do being beneficial to members.
Do the activities generate revenue?
The extent of what activities WITSA is engaged is directly related to revenue
Does the activity contribute the global brand of WITSA?
As it is important to WITSA to be globally recognized does the activity promote this WITSA goal?
The final criterion related directly to the Hedgehog concept. Is WITSA passionate about doing the activities?
Can it be the best and does it help drive the economic growth?

Neither countries nor our associations have in-depth information on the status of the IT sector– Current sources and their limitations:
• Data from government sources• Commercial fonts: IDC, Gartner, etc..
The lack of information prevents the sector to grow– Essential for the evaluation of public policies
There also is no database that can be used to foster business and/or R&D projects internationally
Background - Problems
Generate Information on the ICT Industry
Provide detailed information to justify public policies for the Sector
Promote agreements with organizations interested in information– Positioning our organizations as referents
Describe the situation of the sector in each of the countries and accordingly propose improvement actions– Use the experiences in some countries for the benefit of all
Goals
After a year of work of the ALETI Indicators WG, in January/2013 Assembly @ Lima, Peru approved the implementation of the Census– Making a digital survey– Simultaneously in all member countries
Called Census because:– The number of questions corresponds to a Census– Remembers our governments that they should make
participation mandatory
To be repeated annually
The decision
Structure of the Questionnaire
Openingblock
Main Block(common to all)
Per-country
Allows you to include country-specific questions
Geographical location (country, state) of parent company and subsidiaries
ICT products and services offered Technologies used Client characteristics
– Vertical and size Human Resources Business Models Internationalization and Export Activities Quality and Intellectual Property Innovation Research and Development Areas Sources of Capital and Economic Evolution Generating business opportunities
– For member companies only
Topics Covered by the Census
Spanish provisional version available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Censo-ALETI-2013-Espaniol
Translation into Portuguese until next week
English translation• For possibly interested WITSA countries
Field Work
Governments, universities and other organizations can use the data as a source
It is suggested to keep the relationship formalized through MOUs
Individual responses are delivered, but without identifying the participating companies– Partners are required to always cite the Census as their
source whenever data gets used
Generates materials that bring additional credibility to the Census
Sharing Census data
GIZ, Unctad and others are interested in cooperating
– To develop a single set of measures globally– Subject will have a specific session at GPATS
2013– Work to possibly expand Census to all WITSA
members in 2014
The expected future
