Innervision & Travis Perkins Plc Announce IFRS 16 Lease Accounting Partnership

Press Release: Wednesday, 6th December 2017 - 3.30pm (GMT)

Innervision Management Ltd, today announces that Travis Perkins, the UK’s leading builders’ merchants and home improvement retailer has selected LOIS Lease Accounting (LLA) as its favoured solution for implementing the new lease accounting standard IFRS 16.

The 3-year agreement will see Innervision’s LLA solution deployed across the Group, enabling Travis Perkins to undertake a complex transition to IFRS 16 as well as managing its large portfolio of property, equipment and vehicle leases on an on-going basis.

Included within its core functionality LLA gives Travis Perkins the ability to record and maintain significant numbers of low value lease contracts which are exempted from the IFRS 16 standards as well as allowing the centralisation of all higher value, non-exempted lease agreements, enabling accounting reports and journal entries to be generated for the entire lease portfolio.

Announced by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in January 2016, the new financial reporting standard for leases, IFRS 16 will come into effect on 1^st January 2019 and will require lessees to recognise virtually all leases as assets and liabilities; bringing added transparency to the balance sheet. These changes will significantly impact many global corporates’ financial statements and will impact numerous commonly used financial ratios and performance metrics.

David Saunderson, Travis Perkins’ Group Financial Controller commented, “We were extremely impressed with Innervision’s flexible approach to providing a comprehensive lease accounting software solution. Besides core IFRS 16 functionality we need a solution that supports additional requirements such as IAS 17 accounting as well as the ability to centralise data for a large portfolio of exempted leases – Innervision proved its solution accommodates these requirements, which was an important factor in our decision to select Innervision as our lease accounting technology partner.”

Innervision’s Director Martin Kennard Added: “We are delighted to welcome Travis Perkins, such a well-recognised and leading brand into our growing portfolio of LLA users. This partnership demonstrates Innervision’s commitment to supporting large corporates in their transition to the new standards. We look forward to assisting Travis Perkins as it continues its journey towards full IFRS 16 compliance. We have every confidence that this will be a successful partnership.”
