New GASB 87 lease accounting module provides government entities and public sector organizations with simplified lease accounting compliance

Woodbridge, NJ, February 19, 2020 – Visual Lease, the leader in lease accounting and management software, announced today its full support for lease accounting standard, GASB 87. Similar to Standards ASC 842 and IFRS 16, GASB 87 requires organizations to record leases on their balance sheet. Government entities such as state and local municipalities, and public sector organizations including some higher education and healthcare entities, must all comply with GASB 87.

Visual Lease software currently enables more than 700 organizations to achieve compliance with ASC 842 and IFRS 16. With the addition of GASB 87 support, government and public sector organizations will now have the ability to leverage Visual Lease to easily and quickly comply with the unique lease accounting standards applicable to them.

“We are proud to have the opportunity to provide the public sector with our best-in-class, comprehensive lease accounting solution,” said Clark Convery, COO at Visual Lease. “A core focus for our business is to continually develop additional features and functionality to offer our clients the most reliable, successful way to achieve lease accounting compliance. It was an obvious decision for Visual Lease to extend our lease accounting functionality to support GASB 87.”

Using Visual Lease’s GASB 87 functionality, organizations will have the ability to easily manage key data points across every leased asset, automatically run disclosure reports and journal entry calculations, integrate with third-party ERP applications and more. In addition, the software also supports GASB 13.
