Contractors – How to Implement the New Revenue Recognition Standards

Major accounting for revenue recognition rule changes will soon go into effect — and they will have a considerable impact on how many construction companies report their financial results. The 700-page revenue recognition accounting standard includes new rules that will require contractors to not only disclose more information than they do now, but also change how contractors report contracts and recognize income.

Join us on October 24th as VonLehman’s Dan Owens and Andrew Donohoe discuss what’s changing, when the changes must be implemented, and how they’ll affect financial statements.
