Manage IFRS16 Leased Asset Accounting Changes in JD Edwards

Changes to the IFRS 16 Lessee Accounting standards mean impact all companies leasing property and non-property assets. The good news for JD Edwards users, is that it can be managed within JD Edwards using existing functionality.

The IFRS16 changes mean that leased assets might need to be accounted for on the company’s balance sheet, and organizations must recognize the assets and the liabilities associated with the lease. These assets are called Right of Use (ROU) assets.

All licensed users of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial module can manage their obligations under the new IFRS16 standards without the need for licensing of any other modules or third party products.

To accommodate these accounting standards, JD Edwards uses new enhanced Lessee Accounting functionality which is integrated into existing JD Edwards modules. This includes using G/L, A/P and A/R features available in Financial Management systems.

Without having to incur the costs of additional licenses, lease terms and conditions are defined in the Real Estate Management system, and asset tracking in the Fixed Assets system. Together, this delivers a single solution for managing leases under the new accounting standard.

The new lease management features provide automated processes to create amortization schedules, periodic adjustments to the lease liability, and right of use asset balance sheet accounts over the life of a lease. These features minimize accounting errors and streamline month-end close and reporting activities
