LeaseAccelerator News Room

LeaseAccelerator Newsroom - Profile and News Archive

LeaseAccelerator is the industry’s first software application developed specifically for Equipment Lease Management. Fortune 500 companies lease much of the equipment they use to run their business. By equipment we mean office equipment (furniture, photocopiers), industrial equipment (forklifts, machinery), transportation equipment (trucks, planes) and IT equipment (laptops, servers).

We believe that equipment leasing is THE most poorly managed financial process in Fortune 500 companies. The average Fortune 500 company has between $100M and $1B of equipment leases, which represent between 1000 and 10,000 assets. No other process with such high dollar values has so little governance, process and control. At most companies if the CFO wanted a report of all the equipment being leased across the business (including location and identification) – it simply cannot be done – at least with any reasonable level of confidence.

But this is all coming to an end. Recently, a new set of accounting standards have been introduced by the US (FASB) and International (IFRS) accounting boards specifically for leasing. With these new standards, leases move from an often overlooked footnote in a company’s annual report to front and center on the balance sheet. These new standards are going to require public companies to get their equipment leases in order because they will need more detail.
