The Problem

In an effort to meet SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) compliance standards, today’s lessee finance executives must focus on finding ways to maintain the accuracy of their accounts while simultaneously improving the company’s financial performance. SOX legislation has raised the stakes by introducing criminal penalties for company executives if financial statements do not fairly and accurately represent the financial condition and results of a company. The unfortunate reality is that finance executives lack the visibility, controls, and resources needed to properly manage leasing operations. As a result of the demands of SOX and other financial management concerns, most companies cannot afford practices that result in compliance exposures.

The Solution

Using innovative practices, finance executives can improve leasing operations while attaining SOX compliance. Leasing represents an aspect of financial management that, in most companies, could benefit from the diligence that results from SOX compliance. Through effective leasing operations management following the 20 Best Practices detailed in the Handbook, businesses can speed time to compliance, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and drive greater profits.
