This week we continue our Revenue toolkit series with a focus on step four of the revenue recognition model: allocating the transaction price.

In our Toolkit podcast series, we are taking a deep dive into one accounting topic each month that goes beyond the basics and into areas that require judgment. This month, we are covering each of the five steps in the revenue recognition model.
