Lease Accounting (ASC 842)
Windes helps organizations simplify lease accounting under ASC 842 with practical consulting, implementation support, lease classification analysis, right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations, and post-implementation compliance guidance.
ASC 842 requires companies to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and evaluate finance leases, operating leases, short-term leases, subleases, embedded leases, and related disclosure requirements. Windes helps your finance team interpret the guidance, organize lease data, prepare journal entries, and build a reliable compliance process.
Whether your organization needs an ASC 842 gap assessment, a new lease accounting example, operating lease journal entry support, or ongoing calculations, our team can help.


Assured Compliance
Under the new ASC 842 Lease Accounting guidance, all leases from the lessee’s perspective will receive balance sheet recognition, with the exception of short-term leases of less than twelve months. Leases are classified as either financing or operating leases, which require analysis of lease contracts to determine the appropriate classification, and results in a different accounting treatment.
Windes’ ASC 842 experts can provide peace of mind for your organization by addressing any disparity between where your company stands today on lease accounting and where it needs to be for compliance with these new rules.
