Highlights:At Deloitte LLP, from March 2022 to November 2023, I embarked on a journey to help clients navigate the complex landscape of revenue recognition under ASC 606. This period was marked by transformative projects where I played a pivotal role in guiding organizations through the intricacies of this critical accounting standard. One notable project involved a major acquisition where the revenue recognition process was paramount. I worked closely with both the acquiring and acquired companies to review their existing revenue process narratives and policies. The task required a deep dive into the revenue models of both entities, ensuring a seamless integration and compliance with ASC 606. I meticulously analyzed the differences and drafted detailed memorandums that outlined the implementation of the new revenue policies. This comprehensive analysis ensured that all revenue recognition practices were aligned and compliant, providing clarity and consistency across the board. In another significant engagement, I provided technical accounting advisory services on complex revenue recognition issues. My role was to demystify ASC 606 for clients, offering clear guidance on its application. I assisted in developing robust financial models that not only addressed immediate financial health considerations but also adhered strictly to the standards set by ASC 606. This involved extensive collaboration with clients to ensure that every aspect of their revenue recognition processes was thoroughly understood and correctly implemented. Additionally, I was instrumental in the preparation of financial statements and disclosures. My responsibilities included populating financial statements, notes, and the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) sections of interim and annual reports. This task required tying out numbers to data in the consolidation system and ensuring the accuracy and reasonableness of disclosures. Every figure and footnote had to meet the stringent requirements of ASC 606, ensuring that stakeholders had a transparent and accurate view of the financial health of the organization. Through these projects, I honed my expertise in revenue recognition under ASC 606, helping clients not only achieve compliance but also gain a deeper understanding of their financial operations. This experience solidified my ability to manage complex accounting standards and deliver value-driven solutions that support strategic decision-making.
