These draft abstracts for Issues No. 08-1, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables," and No.09-3, "Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Certain Arrangements That ContainSoftware Elements," address how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverablescontains more than one unit of accounting, how the arrangement consideration should be allocatedamong the separate units of accounting, and changes to the accounting for multiple elementarrangements under AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, that containsoftware-enabled products.
