- Master auditor expectations for ASC 842 compliance: Learn the best practices for lease audit readiness, including establishing strong internal controls, maintaining centralized documentation, and consistently applying discount rate policies.
- Learn how to evaluate purpose-built subledgers and discover how AI can automate the entire lifecycle of contracts and invoices, from data ingestion and automated amortization schedules to system-generated journal entries and perfect rollforwards.
