Leases are incredibly complex and dynamic – and ASC 842 is not a one-and done disclosure. Lease terms change all the time as companies take on new spaces, scale back or renegotiate, and you must account for every change under the new standards. And, this work is made more complex by the fact that there are typically multiple groups involved in touching lease data. This is a large administrative lift, which makes it more complicated to ensure accurate, ongoing financial reports.
