DESCRIPTION
Last May, after more than a decade in the making, revenue recognition rules got a major overhaul. The significance should not only be measured in terms of the sheer number of companies that are impacted, but also by the fact that the new principles based guidance replaces over 100 pieces of more rules-based literature in the U.S. However, the road to implementation is not merely a basic accounting exercise. Compliance with the new rules will require significantly more data collection, analysis and documentation as principles based rules do not offer companies the option of relying on authoritative rules guidance. The new revenue rules can impact several facets of a business as many companies will need to design and leverage new processes and systems to ensure compliance. How hard will it be for your company to get to the finish line? The answer depends on the complexity and variety of a company’s revenue arrangements, as well as internal resources, system solutions and internal processes. The key to a successful journey for your company is defining a specific roadmap for adoption to prevent costly detours along the way.
