Technical Questions

Question 1: Revenue Recognition


"A client shipped $500K of product on December 30, but the customer's payment terms are net-90 and they haven't inspected the goods. Can the client recognize revenue?"

Ideal Answer Framework:

  • Apply ASC 606 five-step model: identify contract, identify performance obligations, determine price, allocate price, recognize when obligation satisfied

  • Key question: has control transferred? Shipping alone doesn't always transfer control

  • Consider: FOB terms, inspection clauses, return rights, payment terms

  • If FOB shipping point and no inspection clause: likely recognizable

  • If inspection required: defer until acceptance

    • What interviewers assess: Understanding of ASC 606 (not just old rules), ability to analyze specific facts, awareness that judgment is required.

    Preview shows 2 of 100+ questions. Full bank covers audit, tax, financial reporting, advisory, and behavioral categories.
