On your Path to ASC-842,
Watch for These Obstacles
Watch out for these trail hazards to improve your journey to compliance:
Will you go it alone, or bring a team on your journey?
The first step toward reaching compliance is understanding and categorizing leases. It can be daunting… but it doesn’t have to be.
There’s safety in numbers, and efficiency, too.
Take stock of your team today.
Did you check the unbeaten path?
Embedded leases are one of the trickiest parts of lease accounting compliance.
They’re lurking in other departments or non-standard contracts. When visibility is low, opportunities for potential savings are missed.
