The Road to Lease Accounting Implementation

For most public companies, the adoption deadline for Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB’s) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) has already passed. Their focus now shifts from adoption to quarterly reporting under the new lease accounting standard. Private companies, however, are still preparing for their implementation of the new ASC 842 leases and should learn from public companies’ experience.

Whether your company has moved past its deadline crunch or is still approaching its implementation date, it should have a more comprehensive approach that satisfies compliance needs. The ASC 842 can dramatically impact your company’s business with all the leases placed on your balance sheet. A lease accounting compliance strategy that also allows you to provide efficiencies for other systems is a must.

Weinberg-Fahey (Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP) will provide an in-depth analysis of the implications of the new guidance in ASC 842.
