- Regular and irregular profiles (multiple rentals with different periodicities)
- Multi-asset addition
- Unlimited document storage for all aspects of leases
- Ability to save mid input as draft lease or confirm to activate a lease
LOIS records as much detail as you need for your leased asset data. Use custom fields to save information such as millage limits for vehicles, square metres for buildings, serial numbers for IT equipment or usage hours for forklifts.
All in-life lease amendments are catered for, adhering to the IFRS 16, AASB 16 and FASB ASC 842 standards covering all modifications. Make business as usual an easy process with all forms of modifications automated within the system. LOIS covers all modifications:
- Full extensions
- Part terminations
- Full early terminations
- Consideration changes
- Indexation price changes (IFRS)
- Rental corrections and impairments
At the commencement of a lease, LOIS generates an asset and amortisation schedule based on the financial information inputted into the system. With each modification to the lease, a new amortisation and asset schedule is created and stored to allow retrospective reporting based on the schedules in play at that time. These schedules drive the accounting output.
LOIS will also generate the complex calculations whilst providing full general ledger functionality and a comprehensive audit trail.
Journals are created in the system for IFRS 16, AASB 16 and FASB ASC 842 accounting entries. LOIS also has its own generic general ledger codes associated with each event in a lease’s life. These codes can be mapped to the user’s general ledger codes. Journals can be exported to Excel for upload to the general ledger or use our bespoke API to remit the journals to the user’s general ledger in an automated fashion.
