Inthe process, they have the unique chance to do morethan just fulfill a regulation: The implementation is anopportunity to critically assess processes for revenueaccounting and improve inefficient "business-as-usual"processes.When the standard is implemented together with process improvementsand powerful software, your company can gain a competitive advantage andsignificantly lower the cost of becoming compliant. Those companies thatdrag their feet and have to comply on a manual basis each month after January2018 will be at a disadvantage, due to the high cost of manually reconcilingaccounts and creating reports.In this book, you will learn the regulatory background of IFRS 15 and how tobest meet the challenges associated with implementation, based on examplesfrom the telecommunications and software industries.
