What is the best lease accounting tool?

The best lease accounting software is one that will help you effectively identify, manage and reduce any financial risks associated with your lease portfolios by:

  • Automating your processes
  • Helping you keep track of journal entries for simpler lease liability
  • Helping you track audit trails for the financial accounting standards board and other regulatory bodies

You will also want a tool that:

  • Guarantees accurate lease abstraction
  • Offers ongoing product support and innovation, including ongoing training for employees
  • Will not be siloed

What is ASC 842 software?

ASC 842 software is lease software that provides the functionalities needed to maintain compliance with FASB’s ASC 842 financial reporting standard. Lease accounting software ASC 842 closes the loophole that lets companies hide assets off their balance sheet, and it requires the disclosure of all a company's leased assets.

This is important because in many instances, companies enter into agreements that allow them to use intangible assets like software and consider those part of their lease. This is not the case under ASC 842. Using intangible assets like software is outside of the scope of ASC 842 (refer to ASC 842-10-15-1 for more information). Use the guidance in ASC 350 if you would like to include software into your lease arrangements.

What are the features of lease accounting software?

Comprehensive ongoing support

The vendor's support staff should be able to provide you with ongoing product training, technical support and full customer support. Accruent global support team offers free superclass training, a proven certification training curriculum and a robust user network.

The right automations and functionalities for your business

The lease accounting tool you choose should meet your needs both out of the box and in the long term. Ask your potential vendors:

  • If reports will be formatted according to the standard's disclosure requirements
  • If their software will send automatic alerts when it's time to renew
  • If the software can guarantee compliance as financial reporting requirements change
  • If the cost of lease accounting software includes updates and enhancements

Customizable integrations

After the initial sale, many vendors do not offer product enhancements and innovations, so their products quickly become dated. Look for a company that continuously enhances its offerings based on feedback and market trends. In the same vein, make sure that the solution you choose is not siloed and that it will offer the continued functionality and integrations you will need down the line.
