This course is the first in a series on the Topic 606 (ASC 606) revenue recognition standard.  The standard outlines five steps for proper compliance.  At the surface, these steps seem simplistic.  However, there are many considerations that should be considered within each step based on your process and industry. 

This course is designed to provide an overview of the technical guidance and outline the five steps involved in the revenue recognition model.  We also explore some concepts to consider within each step and then evaluate some challenges that specific industries may have when complying with the standard. 

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) completed its Revenue Recognition project. It issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The guidance establishes principles to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. 

The standard affects all entities (public, private, and not-for-profit) that have contracts with customers.  Exclusions include:

  • Leases accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases;
  • Insurance contracts accounted for under FASB ASC 944, Financial Services—Insurance;
  • Most financial instruments, and guarantees (other than product or service warranties).

Transaction and industry specific revenue recognition guidance is eliminated. It is replaced with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new standard requires significantly more disclosure than previous generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Note: Information within this course comes from readily available public domain documents and is utilized by the trainer as a supplement for relaying the course content.

This presenter is easy to follow and very effective (my second course with this instructor). She provides an excellent overview of the standard along with (as she is known for) practical examples. I appreciated the examples across different types of organizations and industries. She gives enough info. to equip you with a general understanding and respect for the complexities that organizations may have to navigate.

I have to catch up on lots of CPE hours to reinstate my CPA license after a lapse. So I did miss on a number of important new developments in the field. Thoroughly enjoyed the course - the tutor/delivery style as much as the content itself (overview of ASC 606). Going to take all other available courses in ASC 606 series from Lynn Fountain. Lots of demand for this knowledge out there. Thank you, Lynn!

The course very clearly outlines the new revenue guidance using examples and a breakdown of each step in the model. I liked how the course was organized and how the instructor covered specific industry impacts. The content will be helpful for accountants within an organization who may have to implement the new standard or consultants who provide guidance to clients that will be adopting it.

ASC 606 is a very difficult standard to understand without properly going through the five critical steps to apply the standard to contracts with customers properly. Instructor did a tremendous job outlining and going into an overview of all 5 steps and the proper application of the steps to evaluating when and how much revenue to recognize.

Good course for regular subscription price (not certification price). Benefited from taking all the courses. A lot of repetition could be viewed as reinforcing or redundant depending on how quickly can learn. Would rely on wording on slides more than those spoken, as less technically precise. Now have strong foundation in ASC 606.

I liked the Industry Impact section where Lynn explained the standard in more details. Also, after reading along with the text, Lynn rephrases the information which helps to understand the concepts. This course would be helpful to anyone who deals with contracts with customers from Legal to Accounting, Finance, Marketing, etc.

Even though the new revenue recognition standards have already been adopted by all companies, it was beneficial to enroll in this course because this differs from what I had learned when I was in school. Lynn did a very good job at clearly describing every aspect of the new standard and explained how it differs from the old.
