About 15% of the companies, covered by a survey of ADAPSO in 1983, took use of the ability to blow up revenue and recognized it early upon signing of the contract. Since then the rules have changed a lot. New accounting standards were introduced and software companies are now limited in how and when they can recognize revenue. This leads to the ability to compare financial statements among competitors more easily and reflects the current financial condition in a better way. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview about US-GAAP's regulations of software revenue recognition. Therefore the criteria of SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-9 are explained and multiple-element arrangements are also described in detail.
