LEASE ACCOUNTING CALCULATOR
To help you navigate these changes,
Cushman & Wakefield has just launched
an interactive and easy-to-use Lease
Accounting calculator. It is designed to
illustrate the impact of leasing decisions
under both of the new accounting
standards, IFRS 16 and U.S. GAAP Topic
842.
The Lease Accounting calculator is a user-
friendly tool that will enable you to input
the key terms of a lease and calculate the
financial impacts under the new rules. If
you are negotiating a new lease, you can
easily change the lease term, include a
break option or adjust the rent review
mechanism and re-run the calculations to
determine the best financial outcome for
your client.
You are able to select either the ‘IFRS’ or
‘U.S. GAAP,’ so the tool can be used widely
used across the Cushman & Wakefield
global business.
The Lease Accounting calculator is
available online as a part of Cushman &
Wakefield’s award winning Global Occupier
Metrics website:
occupiermetrics.com.
