Lease Accounting
the
Lessee's Perspective
Join us Wednesday, May 21st with George Azih for a close look at the recent changes in accounting for leases. Accounting for leases has remained relatively unchanged in the United States since 1976. Not anymore. This session will provide you with detailed explanations of proposed changes to lease accounting, focusing primarily on the lessee’s perspective. Participants will discuss the proposed alternative approaches considered by the FASB and the IASB, how to measure the initial and subsequent values of lease assets and liabilities and how to evaluate the impact of the proposed alternative approaches on their financial statements.
George Azih is the founder of LeaseQuery LLC, which develops SAAS software to simplify lease accounting. He currently also serves as the Technical Accounting Reporting Specialist at Graphic Packaging Holding Company, a leading provider of packaging solutions for a wide variety of products to food, beverage and other consumer products companies. Prior to Graphic Packaging, George worked as an auditor at a regional Accounting Firm in Atlanta, specializing in audits of financial institutions. He graduated with a degree in accounting from the J.M. Tull School of Accounting at the University of Georgia in 2003, and is a member of the AICPA and GSCPAs.
