Lease Accounting
The new lease accounting standard impacts many areas of an organization, not just accounting. The adoption process is a practical challenge – Riveron’s cross-functional approach is designed to simplify the process and create a sustainable solution.
Riveron has extensive experience assessing the impact of and implementing ASC 842 across various industries and company sizes.

Finance systems, procurement, business processes, operations and financial reporting all need to be carefully considered as you respond to change. Riveron goes beyond creating a set of recommendations – we become an extension of management to ensure the implementation is practical and tailored to your business needs.
