Lease Accounting Software
Key Features Needed in IFRS 16 Compliance Software
There are many companies out there offering lease accounting solutions, but their basic packages only get you part of the way toward compliance. For long-term compliance, you need to implement a comprehensive system built by accountants.
LeaseQuery is the best-rated IFRS 16 compliance software and is preferred by CPAs. It is a streamlined lease accounting solution that offers several key features, including the ones below.
Support for Your Internal Controls
With so many new leases on your balance sheet, it’s important that the system supports your internal controls. Data entry validation (one person enters a lease and another is required for approval) and role-based access (control over how much access users have) prevent inaccurate information from being introduced into the system.
Translation and Remeasurement
IFRS 16 requires lessees to remeasure the lease liability and right-of-use asset when there are changes in future payments. For all necessary leases, such as those based on CPI, the system you choose should automatically perform this function.
Multi-Currency Reporting
Does the software accurately calculate and report on your leases in the correct currency? Whether your lease payments are in British Pounds, Euros, or Japanese Yen, your IFRS 16 solution should perform this function without issue.
Data Intelligence
To save you time and ensure your accuracy, your lease accounting software should be built with the complexities of IFRS 16 in mind. Practical expedient elections, borrowing rate charts, and useful life charts are just a few of the data intelligence features that you’ll need.
“Based on the number of leases and current level of disaggregation, combined with the level of understanding of IFRS 16 required to properly account for leases, we determined that it would be completely impractical to track the ROU and Lease Liability without a lease specific software.”
