Understanding the true financial performance of an organization depends heavily on proper expense recognition, as outlined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). At the heart of this process is the matching principle, which ensures that expenses are recorded in the same period as the revenues they help to generate. This webinar will examine how the accrual accounting principle supports this approach and explore how matching drives more accurate profitability measurements. Participants will gain valuable insights into the GAAP rules governing expense recognition and how to apply them in various business contexts.
This session will walk through practical examples and challenges in aligning expenses with revenues, especially in areas such as fixed assets, inventory, and warranties. It will also address how expense recognition plays out in long-term projects, how revenue recognition standards influence expense timing, and how tax regulations factor into the equation. In addition, attendees will learn how technological tools, including AI, are enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of expense recognition practices.
