Compliance and Reporting
ASC 842, GASB 87 and IFRS 16 reporting services
The new accounting standards for lease obligations (ASC 842, IFRS 16 and GASB 87) require public, private and governmental organizations to recognize right of use assets and liabilities for real estate, equipment and other leased assets. This affects the balance sheet in a significant way and requires the implementation of new policies, procedures and recording of obligations for long-term leases. The complexity of the calculations for these new rules requires an approach that reduces errors, eliminates missed critical dates and recording of decisions on reasonably certain lease options.

} Terminations, Renewals and Impairments
We will work with you to ensure that early terminations, renewals, and other options are properly reflected and are deemed reasonably certain to exercise. Impairments will also be reflected once identified and measured.
Notification of Upcoming Events
Proper setup of email or dashboard reports will be configured to ensure that the lease management team will be periodically notified of upcoming critical events such as renewals, terminations, and other lease milestones.
Our Lease Abstraction and Implementation Teams can convert your existing leases into digital assets that can generate reporting and journal entry transactions to meet the standards. Your leases may contain initial and option terms, recurring expenses, rent steps, critical dates, clauses and percentage rent details. All which must be taken into account for proper recording and reporting purposes.
