Accounting Standards

In recent years, various accounting standards boards have issued updates on how leases are reported on company balance sheets; they are broadly similar in terms of the requirement and purpose (increased transparency, ease of comparison between companies) with differences in terms of application (dates, approach to transition for example).

IFRS

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of international accounting standards which state how particular types of transactions and other events must be reported in financial statements. Issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), they specify exactly how accountants must maintain and report their accounts. Currently, IRFS 16 is proving a challenge for customers, specifically around accounting for leases over a certain value, which must be disclosed.

ASC

ASC 842 is the US Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) new lease accounting standard, which requires changing operating leases from off-balance-sheet transactions (which they were under ASC 840) to recognising them on a company’s balance sheet.

GASB

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which sets the accounting standards for US government bodies, has also issued its new lease reporting requirements under GASB 87.

“A growing and expanding business is typically a sign of success; with that success comes new challenges, such as managing multi-locational accounting. It takes an extraordinary effort to align stakeholders, maintain books, entries, currencies and deal with accounting standards. With no single reporting standard (IFRS, SFRS, GAAP, etc.), reporting requirements vary internationally. The benefits of Netgain solutions are clear, providing a single, unified, cloud-based platform across all Finance and Accounting disciplines within your business.”
