NFP Revenue Recognition Resources

With private companies and not-for-profit (NFP) organizations in the home stretch of implementing the new revenue guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, FASB posted an Implementation Q&A on its website that incorporates all previously issued FASB staff and Transition Resource Group memos and other educational materials into a single document with a user-friendly, question-and-answer format.
BKD Industry Resources
NFPs may face more challenges than other industries when implementing the new revenue recognition model. ASC 606 partially supersedes NFP industry-specific guidance and substantially all existing revenue recognition guidance. It also adds significant annual disclosures. The effect on each NFP will vary depending on existing revenue streams and current accounting practices.
