CORE PRINCIPLE
Why was the new standard put into place?
- To clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) that would:
- streamline, simplify & remove inconsistencies
- provide “a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues”
- make revenue recognition practices more comparable
Who is affected?
- This new standard will affect any entity that enters into contracts
with customers unless those contracts are in scope of other standards
Recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
