2 CPE This is the second course in the ongoing series evaluating the (ASC 606) Revenue Recognition Standard. This course relates to step two of the standard “Considerations for Performance Obligations”. Part 1 evaluated the concept of distinct and non-distinct goods and services and how they related to performance obligations.
Properly identifying performance obligations is a critical step in the five-step revenue recognition model. It is a step that must be completed at the inception of the contract and prior to moving on to step three of the model. As discussed in segment one on performance obligations, there are many types and variations of obligations and as such, management will be required to utilize significant judgment when applying this step. However, it is important that the judgment be supported by considerations of the proper factors.
The course further evaluates areas that impact performance obligations. We utilize multiple examples from various industries to illustrate the considerations that must be evaluated in line with both identifying performance obligations and allocating the transaction price appropriately.
Note: Information within this course comes from readily available public domain documents and is utilized by the trainer as a supplement for relaying the course content.

I did it. Got 90% on this sixth course in the series. Lynn, I am very grateful for your ASC606 courses. I was long overdue getting my head around this standard. Now I am debriefed enough to tackle what may come my way. Also, I know you are available to answer a question about the course content if need be. Thank you for everything you bring to Illumeo. They are blessed to have you.
Best, Larry

I've been completing each of the courses under the
Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 606) that Lynn has created. While this one was also great, along with the others, it did feel a bit haphazard and seemed to jump around a bit. Particularly with regard to the coupon/voucher examples and explanations. All in all, great course, I've learned a lot up to this point

Good course for regular subscription price (not certification price). Benefited from taking all the courses. A lot of repetition could be viewed as reinforcing or redundant depending on how quickly can learn. Would rely on wording on slides more than those spoken, as less technically precise. Now have strong foundation in ASC 606.

Good introduction to various factors that need to be considered under the new revenue recognition standard relating to the timing and amount of revenue recognized for each separately classified performance obligation. Course contains lots of helpful and practical examples of how to calculate revenue under various scenarios.

some of the detailed issues touched upon (contract modifications for sure) were not really fully explained. specific to contract mods, I did not feel the accounting example with the numbers/amounts was sufficiently explained to help us understand what was happening and why the percentages of allocation did not add up to 1

I feel like the first section of "Options to Purchase Additional Goods/Services at Discount" was out of place. It started talking about that example first when in reality it should have come later after Material Rights and the other health club examples. Overall, very good though besides being a bit out of order
Alvin Scott
(Revenue Operations Analyst at SurveyMonkey)
Very very strong course. The material and examples are relatable and easy to understand, which make the bigger picture of considerations for performance obligations much easier to understand. The section on Principal vs Agent was critical for me to understand in my current role. Great course!

I am really sorry for providing incorrect ratings on the previous courses, I thought on the left most is "strongly agree" , and I checked boxes for "strongly disagree" please disregard those and replace with strongly agree for all courses that I have opted so far on RevRec.
Thanks

Quite detailed lecture re: extra considerations in accounting for performance obligations in ASC606. One of the best instructors here. PP slides have many words fused together probably because of font choice. They were hard to follow.

As the concepts get more complex and the situations more technical, the instructor keeps them understandable through clear descriptions and the use of examples to demonstrate proper interpretation of the standards.

Lots of moving pieces to this description of performance obligations as they relate to options, warranties and other non-product transfers. Examples were simplistic, but explained the points well.

Pretty much anyone who's involved in revenue recognition (from technical accountants to owners) would benefit from this course.
However, the style is not engaging. Makes it much harder to process.
