The standard affects all entities (public, private, and not-for-profit) that have contracts with customers. However, there are some exceptions. For instance, leases accounted for under FASB ASC 840, Leases; insurance contracts accounted for under FASB ASC 944, Financial Services—Insurance; most financial instruments, and guarantees (other than product or service warranties) are excluded. The new standards require significantly more disclosure than prior (GAAP).

ASC Topic 606 for revenue recognition provides principles that allow entities to use professional judgments necessary to recognize revenue as indicated by a transaction in a transaction that comes from a contract with a customer. This session discusses the revenue recognition issues that could be affected or changed, due to the Corona Virus pandemic.
