Accounting principle of Revenue recognition

Explanation:

The revenue principle is a principle that states that revenue is recognized as soon as goods are passed to the customer in exchange for valuable consideration and not necessarily when cash is received.

The revenue recognition concept requires that revenues are recognized on the income statement in the period when realized and earned and not when cash is received.
