What Will External Auditors Focus on for Lease Accounting?
“[T]he new standard poses more than a technical accounting challenge: it poses technology and business process challenges based on the need for improved data collection, more-competent governance and expert analytics.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for meeting the new standards and tackling the challenges of equipment leasing. For many, the most challenging aspect of the transition will lie in identifying and then deploying the right combination of technologies and processes to accommodate the new requirements.
