Glossary
Definition
ASC 606 is the US GAAP revenue recognition standard: recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, under a five-step model.
The five steps are: identify the contract, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the price to the obligations based on stand-alone selling prices, and recognize revenue as each obligation is satisfied. IFRS 15 is the equivalent standard outside the United States and is substantially converged.
Applying the standard requires reading contracts for terms that affect each step: termination rights, acceptance clauses, variable consideration such as SLA credits, bundled services, and modifications. The analysis is documented in a technical memo per contract or contract type and supports the revenue schedule in the subledger.
Meridian's Revenue Contract Agent extracts these terms, identifies performance obligations, and drafts the five-step memo and schedule for the controller's review.
