Overview

Revenue is probably the most important number in financial statements. After years of effort, a joint Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)/International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) standard has been issued. It rebuilds revenue accounting from the ground up. This course provides a comprehensive analysis of this guidance and its impact on your company and/or clients. The recently issued lease accounting standard represents a radical departure from previous lease guidance. Many financial statements will recognize potentially significant assets and liabilities for the first time. The impact will be uneven depending on the business and the reaction of their creditors. This course aims to guide participants in understanding how the new standard will affect their company or clients and identifying the practical implementation strategies that might ease the burden of transition.
