Upcoming changes in accounting regulation, the IASB’s IFRS 16 and the FASB’s ASC 842 lease standards will require companies to account for equipment leases and real estate property as assets and liabilities on their balance sheet. Both new lease accounting standards require the generation of new lease accounting transactions requiring adjustments to business operations, people, systems and processes.
At a high level, the IFRS 16 standard requires most leases from a lessee perspective to be categorised as finance leases, while ASC 842 standard classifies as two types of leases finance and operating. CFOs and finance executives need a solution that will allow them to streamline the processes within their business and to transform their lease management capabilities in compliance with both new standards. A solution that ensures the accuracy of the balance sheet to reflect both asset and liabilities to include right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liability tracking. The requirement for appropriate system functionality to produce accounting entries, periodical calculation of depreciation and interest expense for finance lease assets, calculate periodic lease expense for operating lease assets, generate and validate invoices against contract terms, enables audit of financial assumptions, approvals and data changes.
As companies hold lease information in disparate systems, in the transition to compliance, your project needs to facilitate the data collation, extraction and analysis to map and capture the right of use asset details, improvement in controls and reduction manual efforts. Selecting a solution will require your organisation to run solution assessments based on the requirements for accounting and lease management capabilities, the ability of the solution to integrate with existing ERP platforms and considering the impact on the different process areas.
