Revenue recognition is a generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) that identifies the specific conditions in which revenue is recognized. Typically, revenue is recognized at the end of fiscal intervals, monthly, reported quarterly and used in trend analysis for a year to year or quarter over quarter comparison. Accounting for revenue can get complicated when a company takes a long time to produce a product. Ultimately, as a result, there are several situations in which there can be exceptions to the revenue recognition principle. There is a solution to expedite these processes that is fast, simple, and automated to the user’s convenience.
