As we wrap up an unpredictable year, the LeaseCrunch team is sharing their thoughts on the Financial Standards Accounting Board’s recent roundtable discussions, new guidance on lease implementation for public and nonpublic organizations, and what to expect for nonpublic implementation next year.

Instead, they are seeking additional flexibility and expanded practical expedients to simplify the accounting and auditing of calculations, while achieving the intent of the new lease standard.”
