If the new Lease Accounting regulations become reality in 2017, as expected, corporates must be more transparant about their lease obligations. Companies will be forced to have all their real estate information up-to-date in order to conform to the reporting requirements. Companies that collect detailed information will profit at the same time as they will be automatically catapulted into forming a corporate real estate strategy. The changed regulations are not just required but can be a catalyst for companies to improve their CRE decision-making processes.
