Financial Institutions Revenue Recognition Reminder Checklist
On Jan. 1, 2018, ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, takes effect for publicly traded organizations, and all other companies must follow suit in 2019. Issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in May 2014, the standard aims to create a more comprehensive picture of revenue recognition—comparable across industries and across countries.
Financial institutions will need to carefully evaluate all services and contracts to determine whether Topic 606 applies.
