IFRS 16 requires businesses to not only adapt a new standard of accounting but also analyse the nature of the lease and identify whether it is ‘in or out’ of scope of the regulation. The objective of IFRS16 is to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases where the term of the lease is for a period of more than 12 months unless the value of the asset is low.
Business Challenges
Multi-GAAP Reporting
IFRS16 requires businesses to report on both IFRS16 standards as well as local GAAP. This involves the setup of multiple ledgers to permit the accounting on both the required accounting standards.
Reconciliation between Lease Management Systems and Accounting Systems
Reconciliation and transaction matching between the Lease Management System and Accounting System is an intensive manual task.
Lease Management System Integration
Lease Management Systems are built to enhance transactional experience while creating or modifying leases. However, there exists limitations when it comes to accounting and reporting on these leases. Adding customised codes on these systems to perform activities they are not designed for tend to have lasting impacts.
