What is lease accounting software?

Lease accounting software, at its most basic, is a category of financial software that’s made to simplify compliance and lease management. This is done through features that reduce manual data entry, increase visibility and streamline the creation of balance sheets, cash flow statements, quantitative disclosure reports and other key financial documents. Ultimately, this streamlined work will facilitate compliance with ASC 842, GASB 87, SFAS 54 and IFRS 16 standards.

Is software a lease under ASC 842?

In many instances, companies enter into agreements that allow them to use intangible assets like software and consider those part of their lease. This is not the case under ASC 842. Using intangible assets like software is outside of the scope of ASC 842 (refer to ASC 842-10-15-1 for more information). Use the guidance in ASC 350 if you would like to include software into your lease arrangements.
