Summary
Revenue recognition is how businesses record income. Students learn about the rules and principles of revenue recognition in accounting.
GAAP and revenue recognition
General Accounting Principles have specific rules for when revenue can be recognized. These rules differ from those in International Financial Reporting Standards.
False statements about IFRS
International Financial Reporting Standards are based on accrual accounting. They require that revenues and costs can be measured reliably. They do not use the cash basis of accounting.
Revenue recognition project
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board are working on a project. This project will change how revenue recognition is done.
False statements about IFRS
International Financial Reporting Standards have specific terms for income and expenses. They have fewer standards than GAAP for revenue recognition. They do require a closing process.
