Instructional scope

ASC 606-10-25-23 connects revenue recognition to satisfying a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. ASC 606-10-45-4 distinguishes an unconditional receivable from a contract asset. The foundational accrued-revenue example supplies completed performance and an unconditional right before later billing and collection.

Limitations

The supplied example does not establish that every unbilled amount is revenue or a receivable. A specific conclusion still requires the complete contract, scope, performance obligations, transaction price, allocation, transfer, measurement, collectibility, and presentation facts. Later amendments and effective dates must also be checked for the reporting period.
