The AICPA’s Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC) has issued five new working drafts of accounting issues related to the implementation of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – for aerospace and defense, broker-dealers, power and utility, and time-shares – and is soliciting feedback.

The ASU will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition.

The new working drafts are:

AD Issue 1-6 – Identifying Performance Obligations

BD Issue 3-3 – Principal vs. Agent: Costs Associated with Underwriting

BD Issue 3-3A – Costs Associated with Advisory Services

               PU Issue 13-1 – Accounting for Tariff Sales to Regulated Customers

               Timeshare Issue 16-6 – Management Fee Agreements

Interested parties are encouraged to submit their informal feedback on the implementation issues by May 1, 2017.
