ICFR for Revenue Recognition

The SEC has made it clear that a company’s ability to transition successfully to the new revenue recognition standard will depend largely on the effective design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting (ICFR).

Because the vast majority of public companies have yet to decide on how they will transition to the new standard, most will have little time to design, document, and test the related internal controls before they must report their results of their transition.

• The most recent FERF research related to ICFR for revenue recognition
