ASC 606 Revenue Implementation
Ever-increasing accounting oversight and regulation have become a way of life, typified by the new converged accounting standard ASC 606, which seeks to merge FASB (ASC 606) and IASB (IFRS 15).
After its initial deferral, the new ASC 606 rules are here to stay and are effective for publicly-traded companies with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for calendar year-end public companies). Privately-held companies have one additional year to comply.
Potential Challenges
ASC 606 introduces transformational changes to the revenue model that will undoubtedly cause challenges to many companies during the implementation period and beyond. Companies will have to consider:
- Performance obligations (distinct goods or services)
- Revenue recognition (pattern of delivery over time or point in time)
- Transaction price considerations (various forms of price and volume variability)
- Contract modifications (change in scope or price or both)
- Capitalization of costs to acquire customer contracts
- Intellectual property licensing (right to access or right to use)
- Principal versus agent considerations ( control passes to the customer)
