DESCRIPTION

Revenue recognition remains to be a topic of perennial interest in 2012 as it affects almost all companies. In an effort to resolve incongruent accounting standards and practices on revenue recognition, FASB and IASB have proposed new revenue recognition standards through an Exposure Draft in 2011. These new standards, if enacted, would result in the most broad reaching and fundamental changes to the recognition of revenue in businesses moving forward. The Knowledge Group is producing a two-hour LIVE webcast to help companies gain a complete understanding of the nuts and bolts of the proposed standards and its potential impact on their businesses. Changes to Revenue Recognition in 2012 is a must attend event for accountants, finance executives and managers, corporate attorneys and other related professionals.

Scope Applicable to all industries and entities

Specific contracts with customers outside of scope:

- Financial instruments - Guarantees (other than warranties) - Insurance - Leases - Certain nonmonetary exchanges

Contracts with performance obligations in multiple standards

Recognition and measurement principles also applicable to sales of nonfinancial assets that are not classified as revenue

Core principle Recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in

an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services

Page 13: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

Five-step approach

13

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

• Approach to comply with the core principle

Identify the contract with a customer

(Step 1)

Identify the separate

performance obligations in the contract

(Step 2)

Determine the

transaction price

(Step 3)

Allocate the transaction price to the

separate performance obligations

(Step 4)

Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is

satisfied (Step 5)

September 5, 2012

Page 14: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

1. Identify the contract with a customer Enforceable agreement between parties

Can be written, oral or implied

Combination

- Required for contracts entered into at or near the same time if certain criteria are met

Modifications

- Treat separately if separate performance obligation is added and the consideration is consistent with its standalone selling price

- Otherwise combine with remaining goods or services

14

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 15: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

2. Identify separate performance obligations Promise in a contract to transfer a good or service

Account for good or service separately if distinct based on meeting both of the following

criteria: - Capable of being distinct because the customer can benefit from the good or

service on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer; and

- Distinct within the context of the contract because the good or service is not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with, other promised goods or services in the contract

Indicators of distinct goods or services:

- No significant integration or modification services - Can be purchased without significantly affecting other promised goods or services

in the contract - Not part of consecutively delivered goods or services

15

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 16: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

3. Determine the transaction price Amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled from a customer

Variable consideration

- Estimate based on probability-weighted or most-likely amount

Time value of money - Only affects transaction price if significant financing component exists - Can ignore if time between payment and transfer of goods or services is one year

or less

16

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 17: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

3. Determine the transaction price Noncash consideration

- Measure at fair value or by reference to standalone selling price of related goods or services

Consideration payable to a customer - Reduction of transaction price unless in exchange for distinct good or service

Collectibility - Not considered in transaction price - Generally record uncollectible amounts adjacent to revenue

17

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 18: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

4. Allocate the transaction price Generally based on relative standalone selling prices of separate performance

obligations

Standalone selling price - Observable price when sold separately (best) - Otherwise, estimate based on:

• Cost plus margin • Adjusted market assessment • Residual technique allowed if highly variable or uncertain • Others?

Subsequent changes in the transaction price are allocated on a relative standalone

selling price basis unless certain criteria are met

18

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 19: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

5. Recognize revenue Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied based on transfer of control

Determine if satisfied (and revenue recognized) over time, based on whether entity’s

performance: - Creates or enhances an asset the customer controls; or - Benefits customer as entity performs and another entity would not need to

reperform work completed to date (for pure services contracts); or - Does not create an asset with an alternative use and vendor has right to payment

for performance to date

Select method of progress toward completion (output or input)

19

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 20: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

5. Recognize revenue If prior criteria not met, then satisfied at a point in time

Recognize revenue when customer obtains control based on following indicators:

- Entity has right to payment - Entity has transferred physical possession - Customer has legal title and risks and rewards of ownership - Customer has accepted goods or services

Recognize amount allocated to performance obligation except for certain variable consideration, which is limited to reasonably assured amount based on: - Experience with similar performance obligations - Whether that experience is predictive of outcome

20

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 21: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

Contract costs Capitalize direct costs of fulfilling a contract or anticipated contract if those costs:

- Generate or enhance a resource that will be used to satisfy performance obligations in the future (e.g., setup costs); and

- Are expected to be recovered

Capitalize incremental costs to obtain a contract if expected to be recovered

Practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract as incurred if amortization period would have been one year or less

21

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 22: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

Warranties Customer option to purchase separately

- Separate performance obligation recognized over time (warranty service)

No customer option to purchase separately and warranty does not provide an additional service - Recognize revenue and accrue expected costs - Consider following in determination of whether additional service is being

provided: • Whether warranty is required by law • Length of warranty period • Nature of tasks to be performed

22

SEGMENT 1:

Brian H. Marshall Partner, National Accounting Standards Group McGladrey LLP

September 5, 2012

Page 23: Knowledge Congress Revenue Recognition Webcast - Sep. 5, 2012

Other issues Onerous performance obligations

- Removed from model during July redeliberations - FASB decided to retain existing guidance regarding the recognition of losses from

contracts with customers, including ASC 605-35

Licensing and rights to use - Same guidance as for other goods or services - Revenue recognized at point in time when control transfers if separate

performance obligation

Disclosures / transition / effective date Disclosure objective:

- Quantitative and qualitative information regarding nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and related cash flows

Retrospective transition with certain practical expedients

Effective date no earlier than 2015 for public entities and 2016 for nonpublic entities

WHY IS JUDGMENT A CONCERN • “[R]eliable accounting judgments are most dependent on good faith…other

enforcement actions where documentation was produced were the result of certain inputs or assumptions being fraudulently developed, such as through reverse engineering to meet earnings targets.”

– Jason Flemmons, Associate Chief Accountant, SEC Division of Enforcement, December 9, 2009

September 5, 2012

REVENUE RECOGNITION IS ALWAYS A FOCUS • SEC PRIORITY • SEC Enforcement Division evaluates judgment in questioning whether it is made in

good faith or is “accounting hocus pocus”
