In July 2019 Deloitte issued a new publication called “A Roadmap to Applying the New Revenue Recognition Standard (2019)” which provides guidance on accounting for revenue-related transactions under US GAAP.
It is a comprehensive guide to revenue recognition standard ASC 606 called “A Roadmap to Applying the New Revenue Recognition Standard (2019)” reflecting all subsequent updates of the standard made at a later stage. It can be accessed on iasplus.com.
The publication contains in extensive detail chapters on each of the five steps of the revenue recognition assessment:
Step 1: Identify the Contract
Step 2: Identify the Performance Obligations
Step 3: Determine the Transaction Price
Step 4: Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations
Step 5: Determine When to Recognize Revenue
Also, it covers the topics of contract modifications, principal vs. agent considerations, licensing, contract costs, presentation and disclosure, sales of non-financial assets within the scope of ASC 610-20 as well as tax considerations.
Those looking for the differences between US GAAP ASC 606 and IFRS 15 will appreciate Appendix A included (pages 787 to 793) as well as Deloitte’s Q&A’s with references to the relevant extracts from the guidance.
