At long last, the FASB and IASB have issued a converged guidance report on revenue recognition standards. RGP’s own Shauna Watson, Global Managing Director of the Finance and Accounting Practice, reiterates that this will affect ALL companies – all sizes and industries, under both US GAAP and IFRS.

“This highly anticipated guidance will eliminate most industry-specific GAAP and significantly change the recognition of revenue for many companies. Even companies not expecting drastic changes to the amount and timing of revenue recognition will likely be affected by necessary changes in documentation and information systems to track new data requirements and support the additional disclosures, estimates and increased use of management judgment.”
