Gift cards come in two basic types: those that are affiliated with credit card companies such as Visa and MasterCard, and those that are not. This article discusses differences in gift-card financial reporting and disclosures, and the possible issues with reporting transparency. There is not much legal regulation of nonbank gift cards, leading to a variety of conditions attached to the use of this plastic currency. Closed-system gift cards axe becoming a large source of both revenue and costs, obvious and hidden. The problem is that gift cards are a relatively new type of significant revenue source for some companies, and the accounting literature offers no specific authoritative guidance for accounting for closed-system gift card revenue.
