Is an Internal or External Lease Management Center of Excellence (CoE) Right for You as a Large Lessee?
Pros, Cons, and Roadmap to Success
You will
learn about:
- How to identify the processes within lease management that are ready for change.
- How to determine the skill sets required in the Lease Management CoE.
- How software and integration capabilities can facilitate centralization while maintaining control.
- How the CoE utilizes data and technology to interact with accounting stakeholders.
- How to leverage the CoE and technology to help Treasury and Procurement control spend at lease inception, and asset owners at end of term.
Since the implementation of ASC 842 and IFRS 16, numerous publications and webinars have advocated for outsourcing lease management, including data abstraction, managed services for accounting, and other lease lifecycle functions.
However, for companies exploring the risks and opportunities of building an internal center of excellence (CoE) or centralizing certain functions, there is limited guidance on the many considerations involved.
Given the varied processes involving multiple stakeholders across different divisions and geographies, each with specific skill sets, this can be particularly challenging.
This webinar will explore those considerations unique to lessees, with a particular focus on people and technology, using data and accounting to drive change. This extends to lease accountants and the financial close, which is where this webinar will be centered.
