Disclosure Reporting

Disclosure Reporting vector

In recent years, several changes in the compliance landscape, including ASC 606 / IFRS 15 on Revenue Recognition and ASC 842 / IFRS 16 on Lease Accounting, have significantly altered the requirements for what data must be disclosed and how disclosure reporting is handled.

Many companies are still struggling with complex reporting. Some companies believe that a purpose-built solution for complying with the standards is not easily available and implementing can be complex for some scenarios.

Others have chosen to use “brute force” solutions such as spreadsheets or alleged cloud solutions that integrate with their ERP only to find it just doesn’t work.
