Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition is the accounting principle that determines when income should be recorded. Under accrual accounting, revenue is recognised when earned not necessarily when cash is received. Following standards like IFRS 15 or ASC 606, it ensures revenue is matched to performance obligations and reported accurately.
