Lease Asset Tracker

As a result of their efforts to become compliant with FASB ASC 842 and IFRS 16, many accountants have discovered that their organizations have more leases than they previously believed. To help manage these leases during the the transition process, we’ve created the Lease Asset Tracker. It’s a free spreadsheet that you can use for documentation and tracking of your lease inventory.

Capital vs. Operating Lease Tool

The Capital vs. Operating Lease Test walks you through the four tests necessary to determine whether a lease is a capital lease or an operating lease under the current lease accounting standard, FASB ASC 840.

To learn more about these tests as well as how to identify and differentiate between capital and operating leases under both ASC 840 and ASC 842, read our blog, Capital and Finance Lease Accounting: A Comprehensive Example.
