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.

Innervision’s Director Martin Kennard added, ”ACS is a class leader in freight forwarding in the UK and with its parent company a global leader within the sector. This initial deployment is for UK operations, but LLA is a solution that can cater for global operations and complex reporting structures, as well as for both international lease accounting standards - ASC 842 & IFRS 16.

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.
