New lease accounting standards go into effect in 2019. In order to be compliant on time, companies need to fully understand the business and IT challenges. The new global standard requires customers to manage their leases as assets on the balance sheet. Since these customers will need to plan lease accounting projects and adopt compliant accounting software, it is advantageous to start in 2017.

Virtually all customers are impacted by this change. Customers using Real Estate Management (REM) – both lessors and lessees – will need enhancements to REM to manage new types of leases.
