Key Phases to a Successful Implementation

Summary of Each Phase

Phase 0 - The preliminary phase of the adoption effort should focus on developing a robust project governance, performing a preliminary readiness assessment, and setting up the planning for implementation.

Phase 1 - The key accounting judgments and transition reliefs under the new leases standard should be assessed as early as possible, in view of developing the entity’s accounting policies. Once completed, the set-up of the revised chart of accounts and disclosure notes can be anticipated.

Phase 2 - The detailed analysis in which the need for new processes and systems for the identification, recording and management of leases should be identified.

Phase 3 - In order to achieve the successful roll out of the upcoming new leasing standard principles prior to transition date, Phase 3 entails the implementation of new financial reporting and business processes, internal controls and systems (including the deployment of a new technology solution and related data validation/migration).

Phase 4 - This involves performing a post-implementation review regarding IT (Information Technology) systems and newly implemented internal controls and processes, as well as maintaining lease data on an ongoing basis.
