The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have issued a new standard for revenue recognition, which will significantly change the way by which companies record revenue.

The new regulations Revenue from Contracts withCustomers are being considered as the biggest change to accounting rules in years. For a smooth transition, early preparation is not only recommended by experts, but crucial for successful compliance. With this in mind, smart companies are modifying processes and systems today, to ensure compliance and uninterrupted operations tomorrow.

The new standards specify a five-step process for recognizing revenue:

1. Identify the contract with the customer 2. Identify the separate performance obligations 3. Determine the transaction price 4. Allocate the transaction price to the separate

performance obligations in the contract5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the business

satisfies a performance obligation
