Course Description

Join us for a comprehensive course delving into the intricacies of accounting for internal-use software arrangements. In this course, we explore the realm of accounting standards through ASC Topic 350-40, unveiling the specific guidelines governing the treatment of internal-use software. Gain a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively account for development costs, capitalize expenses, amortize costs, impairment tests, and fulfill necessary presentation and disclosure requirements.

Throughout this CPE Accounting webinar, you'll discern the critical differences between software categorized as internal use versus those intended for sale, lease, or marketing. Internal-use software is designed exclusively for an entity's internal operations, distinguishing itself from software aimed at the commercial market. Dive into the nuances of U.S. GAAP, discovering how these distinct software categories are addressed under separate areas of accounting standards, illustrating the necessity of careful adherence to ASC Topic 350-40 for internal-use software accounting.

By the end of this online course, participants will be equipped with essential insights to distinguish internal-use software, navigate through implementation costs at various development stages, and comprehend the commencement of capitalization and amortization processes. Unravel the intricacies of accounting for hosting arrangements, understanding the differentiated treatment they require compared to other development expenses. This course by Kelen Camehl offers a vital roadmap to ensure accurate accounting, enabling finance professionals to navigate the complexities of internal-use software arrangements confidently.

Learning Objectives

  • To discuss and distinguish between software that is considered internal use and not considered internal use.
  • To analyze how implementation costs are accounted for in various stages of software development.
