1. 605-45Principal Agent Considerations605 Revenue Recognition

   ASC 605-45 formerly governed whether a company reports revenue gross (as a principal) or net (as an agent), including guidance on shipping and handling costs and reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses. Every paragraph in the subtopic (Sections 05, 15, 45, 50, and 55) has been superseded by ASU No. 2014-09, so the subtopic contains no operative guidance. Gross-versus-net presentation is now determined under the principal-versus-agent (control) guidance in ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40.
