System and method for recognizing revenue and managing revenue lifecycles

A system for calculating variable consideration for performance obligations, the system comprising:

• at least one data base;
• at least one processor in signal communication with the database;
• at least one memory in signal communication with the processor, the memory storing computer-executable instructions, which, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
• check the at least one database for the presence of historical transaction data;
• access the historical transaction data;
• apply one or more predetermined variable consideration rules to the historical transaction data;
• analyze the historical transaction data;
• and
• generate an analysis report based on the analyzed historical data.

A computer-implemented method for analyzing variable consideration for performance obligations, the method comprising:

• uploading one or more predetermined corrections to variable consideration transactions to at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• applying the one or more corrections to historical performance obligation transaction data;
• and
• determining, based at least in part on predetermined variable consideration rules, whether variable consideration changes should be applied to individual transaction lines from within the variable consideration transactions.

A system for automatically analyzing variable consideration for performance obligations, the system comprising:

• at least one data base;
• at least one processor in signal communication with the database;
• at least one memory in signal communication with the processor, the memory storing computer-executable instructions, which, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
• upload one or more predetermined corrections to variable consideration transactions to the least one database;
• apply the one or more corrections to historical performance obligation transaction data of the database;
• and
• determine, based at least in part on predetermined variable consideration rules, whether variable consideration changes should be applied to individual transaction lines within the historical performance obligation transaction data.

A computer-implemented method of recognizing revenue in compliance with generally acceptable accounting procedures, the method comprising:

• identifying one or more contracts for analysis;
• identifying one or more performance obligations associated with the one or more contracts;
• determining transactions costs associated with the one or more performance obligations;
• assigning a fair value to transactions associated with the one or more performance obligations;
• allocating transactions costs to the transactions associated with the one or more performance obligations according to their fair value;
• recognizing revenue associated with the transactions;
• posting the recognized revenue to at least one database;
• and
• reporting the recognized revenue to at least one client device.
