With the possible exception of troglodytes and nomadic tribes roaming the frozen tundra of Tunguska, most people – or at least those of the accounting ilk – are somewhat familiar with the significant changes to leasing standards being brought about by ASC 842. Although it would be a stretch to classify such changes as earth-shattering, they are certainly substantial enough to stand up straight and take notice.

And while your financial comrades here at Embark welcome you to search the vast digital wasteland for any number of highly informative guidelines that will no doubt read like a long-lost, alarmingly voluminous Dostoevsky tome, our Lessor's Quick Guide to ASC 842 Adoption should put a bounce in the step of any lessor seeking information without much time to spare.
