Description
Many companies have only recently begun implementing the updated revenue recognition guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Compared to the previous standard—ASC 605, Revenue Recognition—the new revenue standards can often mean key changes in the accounting for long-term contracts as well as dramatic differences in reported financial performance across time periods.
