It\u2019s been more than six years since the first implementation deadline of the \u201cnew\u201d lease accounting standards. Although the standard has become business as usual, some companies may be finding their current lease accounting solution is not as efficient as they initially believed. Many companies decided to account for their leases in Excel<\/a> and are realizing a lease accounting software solution would provide better audit documentation and faster, more detailed reporting.<\/p>\n

Lease Accounting Software Transitions: Common Challenges<\/h2>\n

The implementation of the lease accounting standards was a significant undertaking for many organizations. The prospect of transitioning to a new software solution, even with the promise of increased efficiency, can be just as daunting, particularly because it often necessitates the re-entry of all lease data<\/a>. Recognizing this challenge, FinQuery has developed a solution to simplify the process of switching from your current lease accounting software to the LeaseQuery platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the main challenges in transitioning between lease accounting software solutions lies in the calculation of the lease liability\u2019s present value. Although the lease accounting standards require the lease liability to be measured at the present value of the lease payments, they do not provide an explicit formula for this calculation. This lack of a standardized formula can lead to calculation discrepancies between different software solutions or when performing the calculation manually in Excel<\/a>. Reconciling these differences when switching to a new software can be a complex and time-consuming process.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, variations can also arise from the way a particular solution calculates the short-term liability or rounds the straight-line total lease expense. These inconsistencies, while seemingly minor, can result in variances that are undesirable from an accounting perspective. Accountants strive for precision and accuracy, where numbers balance to the penny. Therefore, the prospect of switching software solutions and introducing potential variances is far from ideal.<\/p>\n

How to Overcome Lease Data Migration Obstacles<\/h2>\n

LeaseQuery\u2019s Existing Balance Migration solution is designed to facilitate the seamless transfer of your current lease data into LeaseQuery. This solution eliminates the need for historical data entry and reduces the complexities associated with transitioning to a new lease accounting software provider.<\/p>\n

Migrating to a new lease accounting software can seem daunting, especially if you\u2019re mid-lease. But with LeaseQuery\u2019s Existing Balance Migration feature, transitioning your lease accounting onto our platform is easier than you might think.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

Start at Any Point in Your Lease Term<\/strong>
You have the flexibility to begin your lease accounting in LeaseQuery at virtually any point during the lease term. Simply select your desired amortization start date, and LeaseQuery will handle the rest.
No Need to Recreate History<\/strong>
Forget about the tedious task of recreating past lease actions or inputting all your historical data and previous lease changes. With Existing Balance Migration, you only need to provide your current lease liability and right-of-use (ROU) asset<\/a> balances.
Easy Data Entry<\/strong>
Focus on the future, not the past. You only need to input payment details from the migration date forward, along with a few other key data points. This simplifies the transition process and saves you valuable time and effort.
Automated Amortization and Journal Entries<\/strong>
LeaseQuery takes care of the heavy lifting. Once you\u2019ve provided the necessary information, our software automatically generates the amortization schedule and journal entries needed to transition your lease accounting onto the platform.
