ASC 842 Lease Accounting Agent
Maintains right-of-use asset and lease liability schedules under ASC 842/IFRS 16 and automates related journal entries each period.
Lease accounting under ASC 842 and IFRS 16 requires calculating present value of lease payments, tracking right-of-use assets and liabilities separately from legacy operating expense treatment, and remeasuring balances whenever a lease is modified, renewed, or terminated
Companies with real estate, equipment, and vehicle fleets across many locations often manage lease abstracts in spreadsheets that cannot keep pace with amendments, escalation clauses, and embedded leases buried in service contracts
Manual remeasurement is easy to miss, and auditors routinely flag incomplete lease population testing as a material weakness candidate
Coordinating between legal, real estate, and accounting teams to catch every modification in the period it occurs is a persistent operational gap
The agent ingests lease agreements and abstracts key terms including payment schedules, discount rates, renewal options, and escalation clauses, then calculates initial right-of-use asset and lease liability values using the appropriate discount rate. It maintains amortization schedules for every lease, automatically detects modifications, renewals, or terminations from uploaded amendments, and remeasures balances accordingly. Monthly journal entries for interest expense, amortization, and any short-term or low-value lease exemptions are generated and reconciled against the lease population to confirm completeness.
