This week we continue our Revenue toolkit series with a focus on step three of the revenue recognition model: Determining 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.
In this episode, Heather Horn was joined by Angela Fergason and Alexandra Pascu from PwC’s National Office, to discuss step three of revenue recognition: determining the transaction price.
