Demystifying Revenue Recognition for Tech Companies and Their Investors
April 12, 2022
Join us as we demystify revenue recognition for technology companies – including from the investor’s perspective. Though it’s been in effect for a few years, ASC 606 still carries some ambiguity, in particular for our private equity clients and their portfolio companies. Cherry Bekaert’s advisors are here to help break down the reporting differences as well as provide recommendations related to the changes.
We’ll explore
- Deferred Commissions and Commission Structures
- Key Terms in a Contract
- Subscriptions vs. Term-Based Licenses
- Free Trial Periods
- Differences Between a Principal and an Agent
- How to Determine Expected Use
Objectives
- Understand differences between a term-based license and a subscription
- Understand how 606 makes companies defer commissions and over what period
- Be able to identify challenges with identifying and allocating performance obligations
Speakers
- Stacy LaMontagne, Partner
- Chase Wright, Partner and Accounting Advisory Leader

CPE for Virtual Events
- Please join sessions on time, or 5 minutes early if possible. Joining a session late may cause you to lose the ability to obtain CPE based on the following NASBA regulations:
- There will be 4 polling questions per hour of each session.
- In order to receive CPE credit for virtual events, you must attend at a minimum, 50 minutes of every hour and respond to at least 3 of the 4 polling questions per hour.
- Polling questions will not be announced in advance.
- If you view the conference in a group setting, you will still need to log into CPE sessions through your laptop to track your attendance and respond to polling questions.
- We cannot guarantee polling questions will appear on your mobile device and recommend that you use your laptop for your webinar session. We will not be able to award you CPE credit if you do no answer the required number of polling questions and/or are not in session for the required length of time. This includes issues due to mobile technological difficulties or any other difficulty that is unique to your webinar connection.
