HIGHLIGHTS
The effective date of FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is upon us! If you’re looking to master this new major standard, look no further. This course examines details of the five core principles to provide you with an in-depth understanding:
- Go beyond the basics of step one, “Identify the contract with a customer” — explore collectibility, reassessment criteria and enforceable rights!
- Move past the fundamentals of step two, “Identify the performance obligations in the contract” — learn about distinct goods or services and combining contracts!
- Step ahead in step three, “Determine the transaction price” — examine refund liabilities, variable consideration, and accounting policy elections!
- Rise above the basics of step four, “Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract” — learn about stand-alone selling prices, allocation of a discount and changes in the transaction price!
- Go all in with step five, “Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation” — determine whether to recognize revenue at a point in time or over time, and how to measure progress toward completion using the input or output method.
