    What is FASB ASC 842?

    ASC 842 is a lease accounting standard published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that requires the tracking and disclosure of all lease assets. ASC 842 replaced the previous ASC 840 standard with both public and private companies required to adopt the standard. 

    • The effective date for the new lease accounting standard for public organizations went into effect for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2018.
    • The effective date for the new lease accounting standard for private entities and non-profit organizations went into effect for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021. 

    Nearly every company or organization utilizes lease contracts as part of its day-to-day operations. ASC 842 will dramatically alter how companies identify leases on their annual financial statements. For some organizations, this will mean analyzing hundreds – even thousands – of individual lease contacts – a time-consuming and laborious process.

    About simpLEASE

    Nearly every company or organization utilizes lease contracts as part of its day-to-day operations. (ASC) 842 will dramatically alter how companies identify leases on their annual financial statements. For some organizations, this will mean analyzing hundreds – even thousands – of individual lease contacts – a time-consuming and laborious process.

    simpLEASE is a software program that provides easy-to-understand guidance to analyze each individual lease. The program was developed in conjunction with the accountants at Schneider Downs, one of the nation’s 60 largest public accounting firms. Schneider Downs has been tracking and anticipating the changes to lease accounting standards for years, and has worked extensively to understand the specifics and intricacies of the standards. Thus, simpLEASE is not only easy to use, but also serves as an extremely insightful and intuitive tool to provide accurate analysis for all lease computations.
