Many public companies were caught off guard by the intensity of their transition to the new lease standard. What can private companies learn from their experience? LeaseQuery’s lease accounting experts will present an overview of the new concepts you need to know, the policies you need to consider, and the pitfalls to watch out for. For example, identifying embedded leases has proven to be a sour point for most companies. Additionally, the LeaseQuery team will address the new concept of control and walk through other important definitions that appear simple, but can actually cause significant issues if misinterpreted.
