RAE_11Revenue Acceleration Engine™ 12–16 weeks build; annual audit cadence

    Revenue Compliance & Audit Readiness

    ASC 606 / Ind AS 115 ready, SOX-grade controls, GST/sales-tax discipline and revenue assurance that survives diligence.

    Why it matters

    Series C+ rounds and acquisitions die on revenue diligence — bad recognition policies, missing SSPs, untracked side letters. This module installs revenue assurance and SOX-grade controls before they become deal-killers.

    Scope covered

    Revenue recognition policy (ASC 606 / Ind AS 115)
    Standalone Selling Price (SSP) library + refresh cadence
    Side-letter & non-standard term register
    Contract review board for non-standard deals
    GST / sales-tax compliance (US Wayfair nexus, EU OSS/IOSS, India GSTN)
    Order-to-cash internal controls (SOX-grade segregation of duties)
    Revenue assurance — leakage detection, billing accuracy audits
    Customer audit / financial audit support pack
    Channel revenue compliance — gross vs net reporting (ASC 606 principal vs agent)

      Week 2–5

      Draft the revenue recognition policy, SSP allocation rules and SOX-style control matrix.

      Systems & order-to-revenue

      Week 5–9

    4. 4

      Sub-ledger reconciliation

      Week 9–13
