New FASB ASU 2014-09 Revenue Recognition Standards for Nonprofit Entities: Implementing ASC 606 for NFPs
Five-Step Process for Identifying Performance Obligations and Allocating Contract Inflows
Recording of a 110-minute CPE webinar with Q&A
This webinar will provide auditors and professionals with not-for-profit (NFP) financial reporting responsibilities with a thorough and practical guide to the FASB’s new Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09. The presenters will also discuss Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) recognition standard, applicable to almost all nonprofits, and prepare accountants to implement its significant changes to financial reporting and disclosures for NFPs.
Outline
- New FASB guidance
- Identifying performance obligations in contracts or offerings by NFPs
- Five step approach in ASC 606-10-05-3
- Allocating inflows to performance obligations
- Implementing the new standards
Benefits
The panel will discuss these and other noteworthy questions:
- How does the new standard impact the determination of whether an NFP contract offering creates a “performance obligation”?
- What are the elements of the new “five-step” approach issued in ASC 606-10-05-3 for identifying a “transfer of promised goods or services to customers” in exchange for consideration?
- How will FASB’s current guidance on indicators distinguishing contributions from exchange transactions (ASC 958-605-55-8) apply under the new guidance?
- What areas of judgment does the new revenue recognition standard create for NFP advisers?
