Author Description

Revenue is the top line in the income statement and one of the most important figures to both preparers and users of financial statements. It is also one of the most difficult numbers in the financial statements to get right. Revenue Recognition Guide is a comprehensive reference manual covering the key concepts and issues that arise in determining when and how to recognize revenue. It covers the litany of existing authoritative literature related to revenue recognition and clarifies those revenue recognition concepts that are vague. For issues not addressed in the accounting literature, this Guide provides suggested accounting treatments that are consistent with general revenue recognition concepts and principles. This edition has been updated to reflect the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (TM) pronouncements/topics to help you quickly locate the information you need in the way that you prefer accessing it.
