Preparing for IFRS 16, the new leases standard

What should your priorities be?
In this episode, Ruben Rog, Julianna Obal and Dan Bealing discuss where the average company should realistically be with preparations for IFRS 16 Leases and what they should be prioritising.
Whatever the impact is, it makes sense to think hard about the needs of your outside stakeholders – such as investors, banks and lease providers – who may all have expectations that are impacted by IFRS 16.
Organisations should primarily focus on setting up a compliant process first and then aim to make this more sustainable and efficient later.
It’s not just about pulling dates and payments from the lease contract. IFRS 16 is also asking us to make some really complex judgements, thinking about business and market factors that’ll impact the lease.
