This course is dedicated to Step Two of the revenue recognition model “Identify Performance Obligations”.  Previous courses have outlined each of the individual five steps of the model and provided case examples.  We have also developed two broad case study courses that cover scenario examples for each of the five steps.

In order to focus directly on aspects within each step, we are creating individual courses with multiple case scenarios that apply to the individual given steps.  This course applies to Step Two – Identify Performance Obligations.  The course includes the many considerations companies must take into account when identifying how many performance obligations may exist.  We review the concepts of distinct vs. non-distinct goods and services as well as goods and services that are distinct within the context of the contract.  We also discuss the concept of a performance obligation representing a material offer and how that should be accounted for. 

After taking this course, you should be able to effectively apply your understanding of Step Two of the revenue recognition model to specific scenarios within your business.  Each learning objective listed utilizes multiple examples from various industries to help interpret and practice the concept.

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.

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.

This course felt a bit redundant. There was some new information but a lot was repetitive and actually made me question what I felt I had already understood. Needed to review the supporting material and instructors on demand course a few times to untangle my thoughts.

good recap or prior courses on performance obligations. I would recommend adding more case studies to make this course complimentary to the more detailed course.

Once again, the use of the abbreviations and acronyms is distracting and feels "lazy." The content is appropriate and there are plenty of examples.
