August 15, 2019 By: Claudia R. Wolter A warranty is a separate performance obligation if the warranty can be purchased separately. What implementation issues surround accounting for warranties? Here are a few questions to ask yourself to determine how to minimize matters for this area of implementation: Who in the organization will evaluate the contracts to determine what warranties need to be separate individual performance obligations? Who will assign a transaction price to the warranty? What method will be used to calculate a transaction price for the warranty? What system changes need to be made in order to comply with accounting for a warranty as a separate performance obligation? Do any changes need to be made in internal controls to properly account for warranties?
