On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, regarding revenue from contracts
with customers.
ASC 606 provides a uniform framework for recognizing
revenue from contracts with customers. The old guidance was industry-specific,
which created a system of fragmented policies. The updated revenue recognition
standard is industry-neutral and, therefore, more transparent. It allows for
improved comparability of financial statements with standardized revenue
recognition practices across multiple industries.
For years, revenue recognition has been the cause of
audit failures and the focus of corporate abuse and fraud allegations. Today,
we have FASB ASC 606, a new standard that is critical to understand before it
can be successfully implemented.
This Accounting CPE course provides an
overview of the new revenue recognition standards prescribed by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued in May 2014.
The
new standards are effective for public business entities for annual reporting
periods after December 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting
period. For calendar year public filers, these entities will need to
implement the new standards starting in 2018.
Supported by practical examples,
industry-specific real-life scenarios, and more than a dozen exercises, this
self-study CPE course will assist you in avoiding revenue recognition traps and
provide you with the latest FASB guidance.
You’ll
gain an in-depth understanding of the revenue recognition framework that’s
built around the core principles of this new five-step process. And, you'll
gain a better understanding of the changes in disclosure requirements.
