In 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new financial reporting standard IFRS 16, which deals with the accounting treatment of lease contracts. This is the perfect time to choose and implement a solution that will provide companies with consistent calculations, bookkeeping in the general ledger, and reporting. Companies should immediately start collecting all data from contracts, as the procedures are relatively time-consuming. We offer help with implementation and migration through a comprehensive platform, CCH Tagetik.
Why should you be well prepared for changes in accounting standards when it comes to leases?
The new International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS 16 radically change the method of accounting for leases. The balance sheets of companies and, hence, the financial picture of companies will significantly change.
Who is affected by the new method of financial reporting?
This mostly concerns companies that report in accordance with international standards and use their assets in operating leases in their operations.
Why is it important that you start preparing immediately?
IFRS 16 enters into force on 1st January 2019. Given the scale of the data that companies need to collect and the time-consuming procedures for their collection, there is very little preparation time.
