Does your IFRS 16 solution have these Five Key capabilities?

May 9, 2019

[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1594228058503{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]A growing number of Auditor’s Reports have flagged up weaknesses in the spreadsheet-based solutions utilised to meet IFRS 16 compliance. As a result, many organisations are having to revisit their choice of IFRS 16 solution.

Businesses are feeling under pressure to choose the right IFRS 16 solution – which will both satisfy the audit and meet the lease accounting requirements of the Finance Team.

The IFRS 16 requirements for lessees, in brief, are that all leases (subject to exemptions) need to be recognised and identified on the balance sheet. Then for each, you must:

  • Estimate the lease term
  • Calculate the lease liability
  • Recognise a right-of-use asset

From our recent experiences of implementing CCH Tagetik IFRS 16 Solution for Lease Accounting Management with major brands such as Smith & Nephew, TI Automotive and Gama Aviation – we have formed a clear picture of the key system capabilities that you need to have an efficient and compliant IFRS 16 solution. Here are FIVE of them…

Five key requirements for a robust IFRS 16 solution:

  1. Importing of lease data – Handling large volumes of lease data from differing data sources
  2. Leasing data repository – Automated data verification to ensure consistent and complete information
  3. Lease exemptions adjustment view – All lease exemptions shown in one view to compare and adjust for IFRS 16 and the transition period
  4. Calculation of assets, liabilities, expenses, depreciation and interest expense – with lease modeling capability in order to see and predict the impact on leases and financial statements
  5. Graphical report view of the impact on Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss – Timely reporting in a short time-frame
