FIRST 2018

FIRST 2018 is the new income recognition module of FORCAST designed to address ASC 606 revenue recognition requirements. All FORCAST subscription clients will automatically be upgraded with this enhancement during their 2018 annual renewal term. FASTv7 users who need to upgrade and all new users can obtain the software by purchasing an annually-renewable subscription contract.

Demonstrations and installations will be available on a timely basis once the guidance has been finalized for use with audits starting after December 15, 2018. To preregister for the FIRST 2018 early adopter software installation queue, contact any of our senior consultants; Mike Hopper, CPA, Amy Lampo, ASA, AV Powell, ASA, Molly Shaw, ASA, or John Valorz, CPA.
