What You Need to Know About ASC 842 and IFRS 16 Compliance
For businesses managing commercial leases, compliance with accounting standards is critical to staying on the right side of regulators and ensuring accurate financial reporting. Two major standards, ASC 842 and IFRS 16, have reshaped how companies handle lease accounting, requiring lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet. If you’re managing leases, especially in a multi-location business, understanding and complying with these standards is essential.
