Get help with modification accounting and reporting for today’s business challenges

In times of economic uncertainty, modification accounting and reporting becomes a challenge. The number of modifications to report generally increases, as does the complexity of each, with the potential for errors and oversight becoming more commonplace.

Different types of modifications are accounted for in different ways. You need a clear understanding of the modification terms and accounting guidance to map out the right approach and generate documentation and disclosures that are audit ready.

Accurately reporting contract modifications can be difficult and complex

Before reporting the effects of a contract modification, you must first determine the correct accounting model to apply to your circumstances. Consult with our experienced accounting professionals who can help you avoid mistakes.

We bring an in-depth understanding of the accounting for modifications to debt, leases, revenue contracts, supplier contracts, and employee compensation and terminations.

Before engaging with a lender, landlord, supplier, employee, or customer, you also should understand the reporting and disclosure implications of modifications for your business.

Set up repeatable processes

Modification accounting and reporting requires tremendous attention to detail. Incorrect application of U.S. GAAP could lead to material errors in financial statements. 

Establishing strong financial reporting processes and controls to minimize the risk of errors and noncompliance also is critical.
