The Hidden Cost of Inaccuracy
Uncovering the eroded capital lost in overlooked lease discrepancies and the path to robust financial compliance.
The Invisible Drain – Where Capital is Lost
For years, many companies have accepted lease data inaccuracies as an unavoidable cost of doing business. However, our forensic analysis consistently reveals substantial losses from:
Double-Billing & Overpayments: Recurring charges for services no longer rendered or expenses already covered.
Square Footage Discrepancies: Incorrect measurements leading to inflated rental or maintenance fees.
Escalation Clause Misinterpretations: Errors in applying annual rent increases or CPI adjustments.
This drain is particularly pronounced in the telecom sector, where the sheer volume and complexity of cell tower, conduit, and data center leases create fertile ground for errors.
ASC 842 – The Imperative for Precision
The implementation of ASC 842 has transformed lease accounting from an operational afterthought to a balance sheet imperative. Yet, without precise, verifiable lease data, compliance becomes a perilous tightrope walk.
Firms face:
Material Misstatements: Inaccurate reporting of ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Audit Challenges: Increased scrutiny and potential findings from external auditors.
Strategic Blind Spots: Inability to make informed capital allocation decisions due to flawed data.
Our firm ensures that the journey to ASC 842 compliance is not just about ticking boxes, but about establishing a robust, auditable framework for long-term financial health.
