FAQ
Technical accounting is the interpretation and application of complex accounting standards to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Unlike general accounting, which focuses on day-to-day transaction recording and reporting, technical accounting typically focuses on analyzing areas that require critical estimates and judgments to determine appropriate accounting treatments.
CPA firms need technical accounting support to ensure audit-ready documentation, GAAP and regulatory compliant assessment, and smoother audit processes. Technical accounting also provides firms with strategic insights into how accounting policies affect financial outcomes, allowing firms to better advise clients and support informed management decisions.
Scrubbed specializes in US GAAP, IFRS, UK GAAP, and other local GAAP, supporting a wide range of complex accounting standards, including:
- ASC 606 / IFRS 15 – Revenue recognition
- ASC 842 / IFRS 16 – Lease accounting
- ASC 326 / IFRS 9 – Expected credit losses (CECL)
- ASC 470 / IFRS 9 – Debt Accounting
- ASC 480 / IAS 32 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
- ASC 505 / IAS 32, IFRS 9, IFRS 2 – Equity Accounting
- ASC 805 / IFRS 3 – Business Combinations
- ASC 810 / IFRS 10 – Consolidation
- ASC 718 / IFRS 2 – Share-Based Compensation
- ASC 815 / IFRS 9, IAS 39 – Embedded Derivatives
- ASC 350 / IAS 38, IFRS 3 – Intangible Assets
We also assist businesses with transitioning to and complying with new emerging standards, financial statement conversions, M&A, carve-outs, and ESG services.
Scrubbed supports ASC 606 by guiding clients through the full revenue recognition cycle. Starting from evaluating contract validity and identifying distinct performance obligations to determining, calculating, and allocating the transaction price, our team establishes the proper timing and amount of revenue recognition in line with the standard. We also assess and apply guidance for capitalization and amortization of contract costs and help determine reportable balances for unbilled revenue and contract liabilities to ensure accurate reporting and compliance.
For ASC 842, we help clients identify contracts that qualify as leases and review and summarize contractual provisions for accurate lease calculations. Scrubbed also facilitates the determination and calculation of critical estimates and judgments such as lease terms, discount rates, and restoration/dilapidation provisions, while developing amortization schedules for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Our ASC 326 support focuses on helping clients identify and assess in-scope financial assets for expected credit loss (ECL) calculations. We select the appropriate ECL methodology, group financial assets based on shared credit risk characteristics, and define the historical period for collecting and analyzing loss data. Our team then computes the historical base loss rates and incorporates reasonable and supportable forecasts to determine the reportable allowance for expected credit losses.
For SEC reporting, we support 10-K, 10-Q, S-1, and 8-K filings by preparing a complete set of financial statements, including footnotes, MD&A sections, and supporting schedules, ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. In addition, we complete SEC, MD&A, and financial statement disclosure checklists to ensure report completeness. We also coordinate with the management, legal counsel, and other stakeholders to verify the accuracy of all reportable information. Our team also liaises with auditors to address inquiries, provide documentation, and facilitate a smoother review process.
Yes. Scrubbed can help with IFRS to US GAAP conversions (and vice versa). To do this, we assess existing financial statements to understand the nature of each line item, then identify and evaluate the key differences between frameworks. Next, we design and execute conversion procedures, calculate the necessary adjustments, and collaborate with management and stakeholders to gather the required data and supporting documentation.
All this is thoroughly documented in a formal memorandum that outlines the identified differences, procedures performed, and resulting adjustments, for complete transparency. Lastly, we compute conversion adjustments, prepare the complete set of converted financial statements with supporting workbooks, and coordinate with auditors to respond to queries and facilitate the audit process.
We ensure the accuracy of technical interpretations and documentation through a multi-layered internal review process that combines technical and quality reviews. Technical reviews refer to the use of:
- Authoritative literature from the big four accounting/audit firms
- Insights from subject-matter experts
- Practical experience across diverse industries
- Consultations with industry leaders
- Comparable SEC and regulatory filings
- AI-assisted research
Quality reviews, on the other hand, rely on Scrubbed’s Quality Review Checklists that are applicable to the deliverable. This structured process ensures a high level of accuracy, audit defensibility, and alignment with technical accounting standards.
Yes. Scrubbed frequently work with the external auditors to address questions, prepare PBC schedules, attend walkthroughs when necessary, and respond to audit findings. We reduce back-and-forth by ensuring all supporting documentation is complete, well-reasoned, and aligned with audit expectations and quality standards, saving time for both CPA firms and their clients.
In addition, we provide audit-ready workbooks, perform relevant procedures to satisfy audit requirements, and respond to auditor inquiries on both technical and general matters. When necessary, we facilitate communication between auditors and management for issues requiring management’s input or decisions. By coordinating closely with audit teams, Scrubbed promotes a smooth, efficient, and timely audit process.
