In our annual analysis of more than 950 balance sheets, pre-and post-transition to ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87, LeaseQuery’s Lease Liabilities Index report indicates that the before and after impacts for the average company are solidifying. We will spotlight the lease accounting transition impact coupled with the global pandemic after-effects across 10 key sectors, including banking, energy, financial services, healthcare, higher education, logistics & transportation, manufacturing, professional services, restaurants, and retail.
 
Public companies and early adopters went through their transition during a period of relative calm. However, those who transitioned in 2020 or will finish implementation this year have the added challenge of managing this accounting change at the same time they work through the fallout of the pandemic, including resets to business strategy, long-term changes to customer behavior, and shifting employee expectations. 
 
During the webinar, we will provide an in-depth review of lease accounting challenges combined with the accelerated business transformations taking place across 10 essential industries.
 
Learning Objectives:

• Compare and contrast the balance sheet changes from the 2019 transition to new


• Identify valuable insights from SEC comment letters on lease accounting disclosures from public companies’ 2019 and 2020 filings
