In addition, companies who may currently be working with large consulting or accounting firms to prepare for the new FASB regulations can leverage to quickly and economically implement the lease administration system functionality they need for compliance.
VP recommends that companies should currently be conducting the following initiatives:
Inventory all leases
Assess lease abstracting policies
Review existing lease approval processes
Understand how the potential accounting rules impact financial statements and debt ratios
Review the impact to credit line arrangements and performance criteria
Analyze the value of existing lease obligations
“Virtual Premise is helping CFOs prepare to answer the question from their Board of Directors, -What will the financial impact be to our company from the expected FASB lease accounting changes?-” said Andy Thomas, president and COO at Virtual Premise. “Our customers are clamoring for information about the anticipated lease accounting changes.

We are also helping companies transform this challenging situation into an opportunity to get their lease management house in order.”
