Interpreting the New Revenue Recognition Standard: What All CPAs Need to Know

Description

The new accounting standard for revenue recognition has finally been
released! With the issuance of FASB ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, FASB has completed a convergence project with
the IASB to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue
recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and IFRS

provide you with an in-depth understanding of the framework for revenue
