The new revenue recognition standard 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 steps one through four of the standard. They are:
- Complying with the Revenue Recognition Standard
- Revenue Recognition: Considerations for Identifying the Contract - Part One and Part Two
- Revenue Recognition: Considerations for Performance Obligations – Part One and Part Two
- Revenue Recognition: Considerations for Transaction Price – Part One and Part Two
- Revenue Recognition: Allocate Transaction Price to Performance Obligations
This segment is designed to evaluate Step Five of the new model dealing with recognizing revenue which is the final step in applying the new revenue recognition standard. For performance obligations that are fulfilled at a point in time, revenue is recognized at the fulfillment of the performance obligation. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity must decide how to appropriately measure the progress and completion of the performance obligation. A performance obligation is satisfied when or as control of the good or service is transferred to the customer. There are several issues companies should consider in applying step 5 of the standard:
- Determining if a Performance Obligation is satisfied over time
- Identifying indicators of transfer of control of goods/services
- Utilizing input and output methods to measure progress of revenue recognition
- Understanding stand-ready obligations and how to apply discounts.
Within this segment, we will cover the aspects of recognizing revenue.
Learning Objectives
- Explore how to recognize revenue in step five of the new revenue recognition standard.
- Explore how to recognize revenue over a period of time
- Explore how to manage revenue satisfied at a point in time
- Explore how to measure progress of performance obligations and properly recognize revenue.
- Identify restrictions for measuring progress.
- Identify principles for measuring progress.

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 went in depth into the ASC-606 from a conceptual standpoint. I wish there were more applicable examples where the viewer could work through problems. I would have been helpful to add practice on how to allocate transaction price or how much revenue to recognize at a certain point in the contract term.

I think the Final Exam for this course had somewhat confusing questions. Not sure if they were designed as "trick" questions intentionally, but I felt I understood the material but found myself confused with a few of the questions. Outside of that I felt the content was good.

The instructor provides great overview of Step 5, as well as putting in real life examples that can be utilized as reference points when documenting and creating memos. Good overview, and good to take to set up a foundational knowledge of Step 5

Good, comprehensive overview of the final step of revenue recognition in determining whether the recognition is point in time or over time. Numerous examples illustrate the use of both methods.

good course and proved to be a good recap of the earlier courses with a couple of extra nuances sprinkled in. 606 is an ocean and the instructor does a good job of covering the breadth.

This course covered the basics of ASC606. It was well taught but could have made less confusing examples that were spread out over multiple slides.

The examples in this one are good to show the overall thought process that we have to do for a single contract. More of this would be helpful.
