Your Revenue Recognition Analysis Workflow
From data import to compliance reporting in four simple steps
Import Revenue Data
Connect your ERP, CRM, or upload contract files directly. The system automatically maps revenue streams and identifies recognition patterns.
Set Recognition Rules
Define revenue recognition policies for different contract types. The AI learns your specific requirements and applies them consistently across all data.
Analyze & Validate
Run automated analysis to identify potential compliance issues, timing discrepancies, and policy violations. Get detailed explanations for each finding.

Advanced Revenue Recognition Capabilities
Beyond basic compliance checking, advanced revenue recognition analysis helps you understand the nuances that make or break financial accuracy.
Contract Modification Tracking
When contracts change mid-stream, revenue recognition gets messy fast. Imagine a software contract that starts as a three-year license deal but gets modified to include implementation services. The system automatically identifies these modifications and calculates the cumulative catch-up adjustment needed.
Variable Consideration Analysis
Bonuses, penalties, discounts, rebates—variable consideration can make revenue recognition feel like guesswork. Advanced analysis uses historical patterns and contract terms to estimate variable amounts with confidence intervals, so you know exactly how conservative or aggressive your recognition is.
Performance Obligation Allocation
A single contract might include software licenses, support services, training, and custom development. The system automatically identifies distinct performance obligations and allocates transaction price based on standalone selling prices, even when those prices aren't explicitly stated.
For more comprehensive financial oversight, combine revenue recognition analysis with financial ratio analysis to understand how revenue timing impacts your key performance metrics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the system handle different revenue recognition standards?
The platform supports ASC 606, IFRS 15, and legacy standards like ASC 605. You can set up different rule sets for different subsidiaries or reporting requirements, and the system will apply the appropriate standards automatically based on your configuration.
Can it analyze existing contracts that weren't set up with revenue recognition in mind?
Absolutely. The AI can analyze contract language to identify performance obligations, payment terms, and recognition triggers even in contracts that weren't originally structured for ASC 606 compliance. It will flag potential issues and suggest adjustments.
What happens when contracts are modified after the analysis is complete?
The system tracks contract modifications and automatically recalculates revenue recognition impact. It shows you the cumulative catch-up adjustment needed and documents the change for audit purposes.
How accurate are the variable consideration estimates?
The system uses historical data patterns, contract terms, and statistical modeling to estimate variable consideration. It provides confidence intervals and sensitivity analysis so you understand the range of possible outcomes and can make informed decisions about recognition timing.
Can I customize the compliance rules for my industry?
Yes, you can set up industry-specific rules and recognition patterns. The system learns from your specific requirements and applies them consistently across all revenue streams.
