Revenue Recognition
In construction, recognizing income or revenue doesn’t necessarily depend on when customers are invoiced or payment is received; it also can be recorded when or as work is completed. But if you record revenues too early, your income statements may show more profits than were actually earned in that period.
Whether you work on a cash or accrual basis, how and when you declare revenue can impact taxes and operating capital. At HORNE, we can help you use and understand generally accepted Revenue Recognition principles to establish a consistent revenue reporting methodology and ensure a more predictable cash flow.
Lease Standards
In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard affecting companies that lease assets, such as real estate, vehicles and other equipment. Many lease agreements that were previously expensed will now be capitalized on the balance sheet. By creating new potential liabilities, these standards may impact working capital, bonding capacity, capital acquisition, debt covenants and lease-versus-buy decisions.
HORNE Construction can prepare your company for the new lease standards. We work with you to review existing contracts and lease arrangements and evaluate the potential impact on your bottom line and balance sheet.
