The challenge with IFRS16 and FRS102
New lease accounting rules under IFRS16, and now the amended FRS102 standard, require organisations to recognise lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on the balance sheet.
This creates additional complexity for finance teams, including:
- Tracking multiple leases across the organisation
- Calculating interest, liabilities and depreciation
- Producing consistent accounting outputs
- Supporting audit and disclosure requirements
- Integrating lease data into group reporting
Many organisations still manage lease accounting in spreadsheets, which can be difficult to maintain and hard to audit.
