Many of you are in the midst of filing your first quarter ASC 842 adoption footnote disclosures.  If you used brute force and/or a limited-scope point solution, how did that go?   If you used a non-integrated solution, how did the reconciliations go between asset accounting and payments?  Excel spreadsheets are not a realistic long term solution. Feel like you’re stuck in a dead-end now? You don’t have to be!

The January 2019 deadline for compliance with new Lease Accounting standards, ASC 842 and IFRS 16, is now looming less than two months away.  Are you ready? If not, Bramasol can help

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board

(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 (“ASC 842”) Leases, which provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements. The new leasing standard becomes effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018

The customer is a Leading Global Organization and Multinational Retailing Corporation with annual revenues in excess of US$480 billion and which is one of the largest private employer in the world with over 2 million employees. As an international company, our customer is impacted by the new lease regulations ASC842 and IFRS16 that will take effect from January 2019.

In 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new standards for lease accounting: IFRS 16 & ASC 842, which must be implemented by 2019. Both IFRS 16 and ASC 842 are the result of a joint effort between the IASB and FASB to meet the objective of improved transparency, comparability and financial reporting.  These changes will impact virtually all companies, whether lessors or lessees.
