What we'll be talking about at CIMA ENGAGE

CIMA ENGAGE UK & Europe is AICPA & CIMA's two-day conference for finance leaders, held in London on 13-14 October 2026. Most UK and Irish entities are reporting under FRS 102 Section 20 for the first time this year, and the question we hear from UK and Ireland finance teams has shifted from "what does the standard say" to "how do we keep this under control every month".

First FRS 102 reporting period

What are finance teams finding hardest in their first FRS 102 reporting period?

Two P&L lines instead of one, four balance sheet movements per lease, and a subledger that has to agree to the GL lease by lease (see our first period-end close guide).

Compliant is not the same as controlled

Compliant is not the same as controlled: where lease accounting breaks in BAU.

The transition calculations usually land fine; the risk arrives later, as rent reviews, extensions and reassessments pile up in spreadsheets that rely on discipline rather than embedded control.

Bring us one difficult lease or audit question

We'll be at ENGAGE: bring us one difficult lease or audit question.

A modification you're unsure how to remeasure, a discount rate your auditor queried, an embedded lease you can't decide on: bring it to the stand and we'll work through it with you.

What you'll walk away with

Thirty minutes with a CA-qualified lease accountant, spent on your portfolio rather than a product tour.

Green tick

A worked answer to your question

The lease, modification or audit query you bring, worked through under FRS 102 Section 20 or IFRS 16.

Green tick

A view of your first-period exposure

Where your close is exposed: subledger-to-GL agreement, disclosure notes, and the lease events still tracked in spreadsheets.

Green tick

A straight read on fit

Whether LOIS software, the LOIS Managed Service, or your current process is the right fit for your portfolio.

Why do finance teams choose LOIS for lease accounting?

LOIS runs FRS 102 Section 20 and IFRS 16 lease accounting for UK and Irish finance teams in one platform, built and supported by CA-qualified accountants, so the first period-end close agrees to the general ledger without a spreadsheet in the chain.

  • Every FRS 102 Section 20 and IFRS 16 calculation automated: right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, depreciation, interest and disclosure notes.
  • Audit-ready every period: a timestamped audit trail on every modification, and a locked periodic report that agrees the lease subledger to your general ledger.
  • CA-qualified support: the LOIS EMEA team are chartered accountants who work on FRS 102 and IFRS 16 in practice, not a software helpdesk.
  • Set up in weeks: standardised upload templates and pre-configured workflows move you off spreadsheets with minimal disruption.

Frequently asked questions about LOIS at CIMA ENGAGE

Where is LOIS at CIMA ENGAGE UK & Europe?

LOIS is exhibiting at CIMA ENGAGE UK & Europe on 13-14 October 2026 at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, London. Stand number: [STAND NUMBER TBC]. If you're joining the conference online, you can still book a 30-minute session with the LOIS team using the calendar on this page.

Can I book time with the LOIS team at ENGAGE?

Yes. Use the calendar on this page to book a 30-minute expert session with Maeve O'Connell, Head of EMEA at LOIS, either at the event or online. Bring a specific lease, a modification you're unsure about, or an audit query, and we'll work through it with you.

Does LOIS support both FRS 102 and IFRS 16?

Yes. LOIS runs FRS 102 Section 20, IFRS 16, AASB 16 and FASB ASC 842 in one platform, so a UK or Irish subsidiary reporting under FRS 102 and a group reporting under IFRS 16 can work from the same lease data. See our lease accounting software page for the full capability set.

Is LOIS only for large lease portfolios?

No. LOIS scales from 30 leases to over 10,000, and the same CA-qualified expert support applies at either end. Organisations that don't want to run the process in-house can use the LOIS Managed Service, where our experts validate the data, run the calculations and deliver audit-ready outputs each period.
