  "summary": "ASC 605-948 formerly provided revenue recognition guidance for mortgage banking activities (notably loan servicing fees and related mortgage banking revenues) under the legacy ASC 605 model. Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, and 25 — was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The subtopic therefore contains no operative guidance today; mortgage banking revenue is addressed under ASC 606 and the specialized guidance retained in ASC 948.",
  "key_points": [
    "All content of this subtopic, including 605-948-05-1, 605-948-15-1, and 605-948-25-1 through 25-3, was superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09.",
    "No recognition, scope, or overview guidance remains operative in ASC 605-948; the shell paragraphs exist only to preserve Codification structure.",
    "Revenue from contracts with customers in mortgage banking (for example, certain servicing-related fee arrangements) is now evaluated under ASC 606, principally the five-step model in 606-10-05-4.",
    "Mortgage banking activities that are financial-instrument based — loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights, and loan origination fees — remain outside ASC 606 and are governed by ASC 948, ASC 860, and ASC 310-20.",
    "Entities should not apply legacy ASC 605-948 guidance for periods after adoption of ASU 2014-09; it is retained solely for historical reference."

Know that mortgage banking revenue questions now split between ASC 606 (customer-contract fees) and ASC 948/860/310-20 (loans held for sale, servicing rights, origination fees, which ASC 606 explicitly scopes out).",
