Summary

When it comes to ASC 842 compliance, companies have been focused on determining the right-of-use asset and liability for balance sheet purposes. But changes to lease accounting rules also make determining tax timing differences more difficult. Getting the tax issues right means accessing massive amounts of data from disparate systems across your organization.
