Introduction
• Lease accounting becomes effective in 2019 for a subset of
companies (all public companies and private companies with
conduit bonds) with potential look backs to 2017 leases.
• Private companies have effective date of 2020.
• This effort is expected to increase transparency for current and
potential stakeholders.
• The effort required to comply with this FASB is expected to be fairly
large and will involve many parts of the company during
implementation and will involve using external consultants.
• The anticipated value to the company by implementing this FASB is
unclear and perceived by many inside various companies to provide
limited to no value.

8. Potential Implications To Banks
• Financial reporting from companies will change
and will need to be understood; does new
transparency bring up any causes for concern in
regards to risks?
• Covenants for loans may be broken; need for
changes to loan agreements
• Underwriting criteria may need to be adjusted to
reflect new FASB requirements
• Banks as Lessors to companies may receive
requests for lease term changes

9. Value Proposition from Core Catalysts to Lessees
Use Core Catalysts to augment implementation efforts in
order to reduce fees to external accounting firms and to
handle a ‘bubble’ or ‘surge’ of work where full time
resources may not be required.
Leverage Core Catalysts repository of proven information
and processes already gathered/developed in order to
reduce company’s time and resources.
Use Core Catalysts inventory of business improvement
strategies during this process in order to distill some
business value from this compliance effort.
