1.5 CPE The new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606) outlines five steps for proper compliance. At the surface, these steps seem simplistic. However, there are many components that should be considered within each step based on your process and industry. Previous courses in this series have covered the standard at a high level and evaluated step one and two of the standard. They are:
- Complying with the Revenue Recognition Standard
- Revenue Recognition:Considerations for Identifying the Contract - Part One
- Revenue Recognition:Considerations for Identifying the Contract - Part Two
- Revenue Recognition: Considerations for Performance Obligations – Part One
- Revenue Recognition: Considerations for Performance Obligations – Part Two
- Revenue Recognition: Determine the Transaction Price Part One
This segment is designed to further evaluate Step Three of the new model dealing with determining the transaction price. The transaction price is the basis for measuring revenue. It is the amount of consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services. Determining transaction price requires election of policies and significant use of judgment.
The new revenue recognition standard provides guidance on specific types of consideration. This is the second part in a two-part segment that will evaluate the various concepts involved in determining the contract price.
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.
NOTE: The revenue recognition courses and the certificate are fully accurate and up-to-date per the standard. In a few places, Covid examples were used however the example does not impact the accuracy of the course. Although COVID continues to be an issue in many areas, similar events can be related to other examples that may occur in today’s economy. These are just examples and something to consider in the event of future economic issues that may occur that would be impactful to the company in the same manner.

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.

More ASC606 here in this part 2 of the topic. Lynn, thank you for giving this series of courses concerning ASC606. There is a lot more to 606 than just "revenue recognition" that I was not aware of. You have laid it all out for ease of comprehension and hit all the points of interest in the content. Thank you,

A very thorough instructor for this extensive standard. Ms. Fountain does an excellent job dissecting intricacies of the standard as written by FASB. While audio is a bit monotonous, but the PP slides are excellent in supporting her narrative. Do use them along with the audio stream and separately!

Very good description of the many unique sales transaction variables that impact revenue recognition. Although these variables do not affect all business and industries, those that are impacted are impacted significantly. This course does a good job highlighting those impacts.

This course really held my attention. The examples are on point and really hammer home the point. I also really enjoy the slides and terms resources. The instructor explains the material well but the supporting materials help to make following along much easier.

the course gave me an picture of how to account for the different situations in revenue recognition, but the examples were so similar so I am still a little confused. Maybe I should go over the course for several times. Thanks again for Ms Lynn's great work.

If you are in an entity with returns, royalties or consideration paid to customers, you need to take this course! If you have any financing arrangements over 1 year, you need to take this course!

On your slide page 20 (PDF file), the journal entry #2, may I know why the ROR Asset is $10 instead of $5 (2 x $2.5) and the COGS is $40 instead of $45 (18 x $2.5)? Thank you!
Wanted you to know I saw your question. I am currently traveling and will be able to look at slides tomorrow
Remember, the ROR asset is not valued cost. It is valued at the selling price. The problem said there were 10% potent; returns. Sales were $100 so ROR asset is $10. You also have to credit inventory for the full $2.50 * 20 ($50) because the item has been taken out of inventory and sold. You recorded the potential refund liability in entry 1.
