    Abstract:
    The new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 842 lease accounting standard, which took effect on January 1, 2019, involves additional accounting requirements that companies need to prepare to remain compliant with federal regulations. Along with this recent regulatory development is the emergence of new challenges which further complicate FASB lease accounting compliance.

    Aside from securing up-to-date knowledge of the most pressing FASB ASC 842 issues, organizations should also implement a long-term, comprehensive lease accounting and administration solution to efficiently address current and emerging compliance challenges.

    The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders who will provide an in-depth analysis of the significant implications of this new FASB standard. The speakers will also provide the best practices and practical tips to help companies manage compliance, thus, improving lease management in a cost- and time-effective way.
