eBook: Secrets to ASC 842 Compliance

ASC 842, which stands for Accounting Standards Codification 842, is a set of accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that pertains to the accounting for leases.

Compliance with ASC 842 is essential for organizations that lease assets or have lease agreements, as it requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on their balance sheets.

What exactly does ASC 842 compliance include? It entails recognizing and reporting lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, categorizing leases as finance or operating leases, calculating and recording initial balances, amortizing these balances over the lease term, maintaining accurate records and disclosures, implementing internal controls, staying updated on ASC 842 changes, and educating finance teams.

This standard aims to improve transparency by ensuring that organizations accurately reflect their lease-related financial obligations, enhancing the quality of financial statements and facilitating informed decision-making for stakeholders.
