Lease Accounting

CFGI Can Help You Navigate the Challenges of a Post-Adoption World

Although most companies have successfully transitioned to the new leasing standard (ASC 842), many continue to find it challenging to proactively manage their lease portfolios and ensure continued compliance with financial reporting requirements. These challenges are heightened in the current economic environment, when many companies are actively managing their real estate footprint to respond to evolving workplace trends, such as remote work.

Finance teams also may find it challenging to stay up to date on current lease accounting trends. Lessees and Lessors continue to modify the structure of leasing transactions to adapt to changes in the current economic environment, which can result in accounting and tax implications. Regulators, standard setters and accounting firms are constantly updating their interpretive guidance to address these new accounting complexities.

CFGI’s leasing experts have helped hundreds of clients navigate the accounting and operational challenges associated with leasing activity.

We empower management teams to identify and proactively address potential lease accounting challenges to ensure that leasing activity is reported timely and correctly.
