Construction Contractors: Non-Revenue and Non-Lease Accounting Considerations

Overview

Understanding the accounting for construction contractors can be quite a task. Many believe revenue recognition is the only important topic. Just as important is all of the non-revenue accounting. Here we will dive into it.

The construction industry stands out in its need to adhere to a diverse range of accounting standards. This course explores the essential knowledge required for success in construction accounting, as well as the key issues influencing this field. Discover the implications of recent developments for yourself, your business, or your clients. In addition, we will examine the relationship between contractors and sureties. Given the construction industry’s significant and ever-expanding share of the economy, staying up to date with the latest accounting updates in this sector is critical. Note: This course does not address FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or FASB ASC 842, Leases. The AICPA offers a companion course which focuses on revenue and lease accounting for construction contractors. See Contract Accounting and Lease Accounting and Their Impact on Construction Contractors (CCREVL).
