»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp rules for the timing of expenditure recognition ensure that costs are recognised when they are represented in the state of completion of the exhibition and, in particular that:

• prepayments (where payments are made in advance of the goods or services being supplied) are not recognised until the work has been done, and
• deferrals (where work is done or services supplied for promise of payment in the future) are recognised earlier so long as the obligation for future payment is unconditional.

For more information about when expenditure should be recognised, see BIM31080.
