Innovative Tax Strategies for Manufacturers and Distributors

Accurately recognizing revenue is vital to a company’s performance and success. The new ASC 606 standard has changed the rules on the way revenue is recognized. Its impact is far reaching across industry and business size.

The new regulation has implications for the entire contract cycle of a business and will be felt by various departments, not just accounting.

Compliance, while frustrating and time consuming, is necessary for your business.

Five Components Required for Revenue Recognition
There are five components required in the new revenue recognition standards. These include:

  1. Identifying the contract with a customer
  2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract
  3. Determining the transaction price
  4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract
  5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisifies a performance obligation
