Question

steps of verification of deferred revenue​

Answer 1

Answer:

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred Revenue is, in accrual accounting, money earned for goods or services which have not yet been delivered. According to the revenue recognition principle, it is recorded as a liability until delivery is made, at which time it is converted into revenue.

Answer 2

Answer:

Deferred and unearned revenue are accounting terms that both refer to revenue received by a company for goods or services that haven't been provided yet. In the company's books, deferred/unearned revenue (henceforth referred to solely as deferred revenue) is classified as revenue/profit, but is listed as a liability on the balance sheet until the goods have been delivered, or services have been performed

In other words, deferred revenue requires some action on the part of the company before it can be considered an asset. If, for whatever reason, the company is unable to deliver the goods or services as promised, the deferred revenue must be refunded.

It's also important to note that deferred revenue can be used to finance expenses necessary to complete the job.

Examples

An excellent example of a business that deals with deferred revenue is one that sells subscriptions. For example, if I purchase a one-year subscription to a weekly stock-market newsletter, and receive the first issue immediately, the company must count most of the money I paid as deferred revenue, because it still owes me another 51 issues. Gradually, that revenue will shift from a liability to an asset as the company fulfills its obligations.

Service providers are another example of businesses that typically deal with deferred revenue. For example, when you hire a contractor to renovate your house, the contractor generally wants at least some of the money up front. That money should be accounted for as deferred revenue until the job is complete -- although the contractor can certainly use it to buy supplies to complete the job.
