Revenue Recognition Principles

Overview

Starting in 2018, calendar-year public filers are required to apply the new revenue recognition standards prescribed by ASC Topic 606. This course provides an overview of this new standard prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that was issued in May 2014. The new standard became effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. For nonpublic entities, the new standard is required to be adopted a year later.
