2/8/2012 - Revenue Recognition: Proposed New FASB/IASB Guidance

Event Sponsored by Hein - Not an ACG OC event.

As a result of the FASB’s ongoing project to converge U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), revenue recognition is getting a lot of attention. In fact, the FASB issued an exposure draft in June 2010 that would replace all current U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance with one single model applicable to all contracts and customers regardless of the industry. Understanding the new changes is critical to maximizing the efficiency of your company’s revenue recognition process. Join us to learn:

• Steps for applying the key principle
• Impact of warranties, breakage revenue, contract controls, and more
• Key differences from existing standards, including disclosure requirements
• The current transition timeline

Speaker: Jim Brendel, National Director of Audit and Accounting, Hein & Associates
