VideoThe Revenue Recognition Standard for Private Companies
More than four years ago, in May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released a new set of accounting standards that was poised to make waves for many years to come. The new standards detailed in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, supersede almost all industry-specific guidance pertaining to revenue recognition.
