ASC 606 was originally effective for annual reporting periods (including interim
reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, for
public entities. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an ASU, Revenue From
Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which
deferred for one year the effective date of the new revenue standard for public and
nonpublic entities reporting under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, for public business
entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans, the
effective date for ASC 606 was annual reporting periods (including interim reporting
periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017.
The effective date for all other entities is annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the ASU
early as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including
interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may
apply ASC 606 early as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15,
2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one
year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies ASC
606.
