Streamline Lease Accounting in NetSuite with NetLease by Netgain

Henry Sack • Mar 08, 2024

Lease accounting compliance, particularly with the ASC 842 and IFRS 16 standards, can pose significant challenges for businesses using NetSuite. Spreadsheets, manual calculations and the need to integrate with third-party systems often lead to errors and time-consuming processes. NetLease, an innovative solution from Netgain, addresses these pain points and simplifies lease accounting directly within your NetSuite environment.


Key Challenges of Lease Accounting in NetSuite


Complexity of ASC 842 and IFRS 16


NetSuite's native functionality isn't designed to handle the intricacies of the new lease accounting standards. Calculating right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities and creating compliant amortisation schedules requires specialised expertise and calculations. Attempting this manually or with limited NetSuite tools can lead to significant errors and non-compliance.

Reliance on Manual Processes

Relying heavily on spreadsheets to track leases, calculate amortisation, and prepare journal entries is a recipe for errors. Spreadsheets are prone to formula mistakes, data entry issues, and version control problems. This leads to inaccurate financial reporting, time-consuming rework, and potential audit findings.


Third-Party Integration Risks

Connecting NetSuite with external lease accounting software may seem like a solution, but it introduces its own set of challenges:


Complexity: Integrating systems adds layers of complexity, increasing IT overhead and the potential for technical glitches.

Data Security: Sharing sensitive lease data between systems creates potential security risks.

Data Discrepancies: Inconsistencies between NetSuite and external systems can lead to unreliable reporting and delays.
