This session reviews the scope of ASC 606, recent amendments to ASU 2014-09, significant differences with ASC 605, and the potential impact on the financial results of many companies; i.e., the New Standard will accelerate or defer the timing of revenue recognition for many companies compared with ASC 605. Also included in this session is a review of the New Standard's goals and a comparison with goals of new CECL Standard, New Standard core principles, interaction with other guidance, contract assets and liabilities, and the implementation experience of public companies.

Understanding ASC 606: Steps 1–5 (continued)
12:45 – 2:30 PM
The core principle of the New Revenue Standard is that an entity recognizes 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. This session reviews the five-step model—how an entity recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principles with numerous examples. The five steps are:
• Identification of contract existence
• Identification of distinct promises
• Performance obligations within the contract
• Determination of the transaction price
• Allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations
• Recognition of revenue when control is transferred and the performance obligation(s) are satisfied
either at a point-in-time or over time

This session reviews those changes with an emphasis on the required disclosure for both public and private companies and SEC comment letters. This session also includes a summary of the key differences between ASC 606 and IFRS 15, the 606 impact on taxes, ASU 2018-18 which clarifies the interaction between Topic 808 and ASC 606, and a brief discussion on the benefits of revenue software automation.
Luncheon

ASC 606: Internal Controls
1:00 – 2:30 PM
This session discusses the New Standard's impact on Internal Controls. Internal Controls should be a key consideration in your adoption of 606, and should be considered early in the implementation process to ensure a successful transition. The New Standard requires many judgments and estimates, and existing processes may not function with the precision required to make accurate estimates under the New Standard. Some of the information will have to be sourced outside the controllership function. This session will discuss what changes to your Internal Control processes are likely required.
