Lease Accounting
A complete lease accounting software solution requires not only calculating present values and generating amortization schedules, but addressing the accounting issues created due to ongoing changes within the lease portfolio through the normal course of business under the new FASB, IASB, and GASB standards (ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87, ASC 840).
Lease accounting software also requires the calculation and export of journal entries and the adjusting entries resulting from re-measurement, impairment, or late or inaccurately entered base data. This need to address ongoing changes, combined with the sheer scale of managing the data for portfolios consisting of thousands of leases, is enough to break most systems.
