<strong>Are</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Accounting</strong> <strong>Rules</strong> <strong>Causing</strong><br />
<strong>Chaos</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Some</strong> <strong>Companies</strong>?<br />
<strong>New</strong> accounting rules as of December are changing how companies account <strong>for</strong> revenue from<br />
services and sales. These changes were in the works <strong>for</strong> over a decade and situate the U.S.<br />
closer to international guidelines. For multi-entity and especially international companies, these<br />
changes can only benefit the bottom line and simplify accounting processes.<br />
The new policies lead to an obvious change in how businesses conduct their operations so they<br />
remain compliant with current regulations. This also leads, in some cases, to increased<br />
expenses--upwards of $1 million <strong>for</strong> some--in the compliance measures.<br />
One change with these regulations is that companies must more thoroughly account <strong>for</strong> costs<br />
related to sales, including discounts, marketing ef<strong>for</strong>ts, and more. This is understandably<br />
altering how some businesses provide and account <strong>for</strong> subscription-based sales. While some<br />
companies believe these regulations will ultimately increase their revenues, others aren’t so<br />
sure.<br />
<strong>Some</strong> companies are communicating the new regulations with their investors to be transparent<br />
on how their finances may be affected in the future, while still others are opting to change their<br />
business operations wherever possible, rather than their expected revenue <strong>for</strong>ecasts.<br />
