revenue from contracts with customers

ASC 310-920 formerly provided industry-specific guidance on receivables arising in broadcasting arrangements. Both of its substantive paragraphs — the overview/background paragraph (310-920-05-1) and the recognition paragraph (310-920-25-1) — were superseded by ASU No. 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). As a result, the subtopic contains no remaining operative guidance.

ASC 340-952 formerly contained the franchisor-specific guidance on deferred costs (for example, direct and indirect costs of franchise sales). Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, and 25 — was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Franchisors now account for costs of obtaining and fulfilling franchise contracts under ASC 340-40 and recognize franchise revenue under ASC 606 (including the industry guidance in ASC 952-606).

ASC 405-910 formerly provided liability guidance (offsetting/presentation and disclosure of advances, billings, and related contractor obligations) for construction contractors. Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, 45, and 50 — was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). As a result, the subtopic contains no operative guidance; contract liabilities of construction contractors are now addressed under ASC 606 (and contract costs under ASC 340-40).

ASC 430-10 is now only a signpost: it contains no substantive recognition or measurement rules of its own. Its single remaining paragraph (430-10-05-1) directs readers to Topic 606 for guidance on deferred revenue and contract liabilities. The former recognition and relationship paragraphs (430-10-25-1 and 430-10-60-1) were superseded by ASU 2014-09.

ASC 605-15 was the legacy guidance on revenue recognition for sales of product, most notably sales with a right of return (and related product financing and industry arrangements). Every paragraph in the subtopic — background, scope, recognition, and presentation — has been superseded by ASU 2014-09, which replaced it with the revenue model in ASC 606. As a result, the subtopic contains no operative guidance today and exists only as a historical marker.

ASC 605-910 was the construction-contractor revenue guidance nested in the legacy revenue recognition topic (ASC 605). Every substantive paragraph in Sections 05, 15, 25, and 50 was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), leaving the subtopic as an empty shell. Construction contractors now apply ASC 606 for revenue and ASC 340-40 for contract costs.

ASC 605-920 formerly provided industry-specific revenue recognition guidance for broadcasters (entertainment industry), including recognition of barter and license/advertising revenue. All of its substantive paragraphs (605-920-05-1 and 605-920-25-1) were superseded by ASU 2014-09, so the subtopic is now an empty shell. Broadcaster revenue is instead accounted for under the general revenue model in ASC 606, with related industry guidance in ASC 926.

ASC 605-940 formerly provided industry-specific revenue recognition guidance for brokers and dealers in securities (e.g., trade-date recognition of commissions and related expenses, and measurement of such revenues). Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, 25 and 30 — was superseded by ASU 2014-09, so the subtopic contains no remaining operative guidance. Broker-dealer revenue from contracts with customers is now accounted for under ASC 606, with related industry implementation guidance in ASC 940-605.

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.

ASC 605-952 formerly contained the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance for franchisors (initial franchise fees, area franchise sales, continuing fees, and related disclosures). Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, 25, 35, 40, 45, and 50 — has been superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Franchisors now apply ASC 606 (with ASC 340-40 for contract costs), including the franchisor-specific implementation guidance and, for private companies, the practical expedient added by ASU 2021-02.

ASC 605-974 formerly provided industry-specific revenue recognition guidance for real estate investment trusts under the legacy ASC 605 revenue model. Every paragraph in the subtopic (Sections 05, 15, 25, 45, and 50) was superseded by ASU 2014-09, the revenue standard. REIT revenue transactions are now accounted for under ASC 606 (contracts with customers) or, for rental income, under the leases guidance in ASC 842.

ASC 605-976 formerly contained the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance for retail land sales (sales of lots in subdivided developments, typically on installment contracts with refund/cancellation periods), including the percentage-of-completion and installment methods for such sales. Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, 25, 30, 35, and 55 — was superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The subtopic therefore contains no remaining operative guidance; retail land sales are now accounted for under ASC 606 (and ASC 610-20 for sales of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers).

ASC 605-978 formerly contained the specialized revenue recognition guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions (interval sales, vacation clubs), including profit recognition tests, buyer's commitment and continuing investment thresholds, relative sales value accounting, and reload/upgrade transactions. Every paragraph in every section of the subtopic was superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09. Time-sharing revenue is now accounted for under ASC 606, with transfers of real estate outside a customer contract addressed in ASC 610-20.

ASC 705-912 formerly contained cost-of-sales guidance for contractors with the federal government, addressing matters such as contract costs and related recognition and disclosure. Every paragraph in the subtopic (scope, recognition, and disclosure) was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The subtopic is therefore an empty shell; federal government contractors now apply ASC 606 and the cost guidance in ASC 340-40.

This Subtopic applies the derivatives and hedging guidance of Topic 815 to casinos and to the casino operations of other entities. Its single substantive rule is a scope-out: fixed-odds wagering contracts — bets where the odds of winning are known or knowable when placed (e.g., certain sports and race wagers) — are not accounted for as derivatives by the casino that issues them. Instead, the casino treats them as revenue transactions under Topic 606.
