Large-sample analysis shows that ASC 606 reduces compliance risk in firms with principal-agent exposure, indicating effective reform.

Key Points

  • This research aims to examine how ASC 606 affects compliance risk associated with principal-agent considerations in revenue recognition.
  • Constructed a dataset through textual analysis and manual data collection.
  • Analyzed SEC comment letters related to revenue recognition issues.
  • Evaluated audit fees before and after the implementation of ASC 606.
  • Firms with principal-agent exposure faced higher GAAP compliance risks before ASC 606.
  • Adoption of ASC 606 led to a decline in compliance risk indicators.
  • Further disclosure is recommended to address information challenges with PA assessments.
