Lease Accounting for Finance Teams Interested in Purchasing and Leasing Equipment
Thursday, June 21, 2007
Procuring equipment requires the coordination of many organizations within a company in a coherent process. Within the finance organization, treasury professionals are typically interested in and lead the upfront lease vs. buy decisions, while controllers focus more on the downstream decisions related to accounting, controls, and compliance. In order to make sound decisions, execute with consistency and transparency, and follow through to deliver on the results projected in the original decision-making, the finance team needs to understand the basics of lease accounting across the lifecycle of the lease and the assets. This webinar will investigate lease accounting for lessees across these lifecycles and explore how leasing impacts financial performance and financial statements.
