# Lease Accounting: How To Ensure Reliable, Effective Implementation And Adoption

 Watch the replay

There’s a lot of confusion regarding lease accounting. Who should be involved? How many resources are needed? What type of technology should be used? With all of that in mind, it’s understandable that most businesses are overwhelmed, and one-third (33%) of private companies are still not fully prepared to transition to ASC 842. As businesses approach the initial reporting period under the new standard, there is massive pressure to retroactively learn and organize their leases.

In this webinar, lease accounting implementation and adoption experts will share proven processes and tools to accelerate progress, how to get started now and reduce the risk of error, and necessary, critical tips to ensure accurate lease accounting data.

Learning Objectives:

- Identify proven processes and tools to accelerate progress in transitioning to ASC 842
- Recognize day two lease accounting complexities and key considerations for handling ASC 842 compliance internally versus outsourcing
- Summarize critical tips to ensure accuracy and completeness of your lease population
