The new lease accounting standard, ASC 842, effective for many public companies in January 2019, could bring $2 trillion of lease liabilities onto S&P 500 balance sheets. What are the implications for finance executives and how can compliance translate into added value? We’ll discuss:
- Ongoing impact of ASC 842 on business finance processes, technology, and reporting.
- Opportunities to leverage real estate data to improve overall financial performance.
- Finance’s ability to influence lease management strategy in the age of ASC 842.
Participants will learn how the new lease standard and digital technologies can turn real estate investments into a driver of growth and profitability versus a cost of doing business.
