Accordion & Trullion present...

Let’s talk about transforming new standards into new opportunities

Program description:

The impact of new accounting standards (such as ASC 842 [lease accounting] & ASC 606 [revenue recognition]) can be more significant than initially anticipated, and smooth, scalable adoption should be a top priority at this stage. PE firms and their portfolio companies may face unique challenges, particularly in the current market environment with adjusting business models and processes, shifting priorities, and in-house resource constraints.

With this in mind, how can PE firms and their portfolio companies accelerate ASC 842 adoption over the next few months? Accordion and Trullion discussed that on a live webinar focused on the unique challenges facing PE firms and PE-backed companies. The panel explored ways to leverage AI-powered software, paired with external consultation, in order to ensure a smooth transition.
