18.1 Introduction
Since the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued
additional final ASUs to (1) defer the revenue standard’s original effective date,
(2) make certain technical corrections and improvements to the standard, (3) clarify
certain aspects of the standard’s guidance, (4) codify or rescind certain SEC
guidance on revenue, and (5) provide certain practical expedients. In addition,
there has been significant activity by the TRG and the AICPA revenue recognition
industry task forces, along with involvement from regulators, including the SEC and
the PCAOB. Stakeholders should continue to monitor activity at the FASB, SEC, and
other standard-setting or regulatory bodies for any relevant developments or
interpretations.
