Innervision’s implementation team is working with ACS to configure their system architecture, management reporting profile, operational and reporting controls and mapping General Ledger/asset codes to ensure a seamless transition.

About IFRS 16:

Published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the new standard for lease accounting, IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 and will be effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019, with earlier application permitted. The introduction of the new standard marks the biggest change in lease accounting in over a decade and requires lessees to account for leases under a single accounting treatment, bringing the majority of leases ‘on balance sheet’ and recognizing a right of use asset and a lease liability.
