In recent years, profound shockwaves have resonated through the accounting world with the issuance of new lease accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These new regulations have fundamentally transformed the required treatment of lease contracts in financial reporting.
Our suite of services includes:
Project planning and management

Impact assessment of ASC 842/GASB 87/IFRS 16
Lease accounting software selection and implementation

Beyond the initial transition, we also provide post-implementation review and ongoing compliance support.
CECL (Current Expected Credit Loss)
The CECL standard is a significant accounting change that affects how businesses calculate and report their credit-loss risk for financial assets recorded at amortized cost. CECL was introduced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States and is designed to provide a more forward-looking and principles-based approach to recognizing credit losses.
