// The lease accounting gap

The standard is clear. The lease data is not.

ASC 842 and IFRS 16 put every lease on the balance sheet — but the inputs live in hundreds of PDF leases, amendments and side letters. Re-reading them by hand at adoption, at every modification and at every audit drains the accounting team and invites restatement risk.

Weeks per adoption or audit cycle

Accountants spend the bulk of ASC 842 implementation time locating leases and re-keying terms into the accounting system — work AI can do in minutes per lease.

Missed embedded terms

Renewal options buried on page 47, residual value guarantees in an exhibit, CPI escalators in a side letter — any one of them changes the liability calculation if missed.

Audit re-work costs

Auditors sample leases and trace every figure to the source document. Without page-cited abstracts, each request becomes hours of manual document hunting.

// With LeaseAbstractors

Payment schedules, options and rate inputs extracted in minutes — not weeks. Every lease, every field, with a confidence score, page citation and full audit trail.

// Document coverage

Every lease your accounting team must recognise

From real estate to equipment and vehicle fleets, LeaseAbstractors reads unstructured lease text and returns the clean, structured inputs your ASC 842 / IFRS 16 engine needs — without templates and without manual configuration per lease form.

Real estate leases & amendments

Recognition inputs and option judgments — all fields, every page

LeaseAbstractors reads office, retail, industrial and ground leases in any layout, extracting lessor and lessee, commencement and expiration, fixed and variable payment schedules, renewal and termination options with exercise terms, residual guarantees, initial direct costs and stated or implicit rate clauses.

Equipment & vehicle leases

Fleet schedules, copier and machinery agreements — asset descriptions, payment terms, purchase options and end-of-term obligations.

Amendments & modifications

Remeasurement triggers captured: changed payments, extended terms, partial terminations — linked to the parent lease record.

Embedded lease contracts

Service, logistics and IT agreements screened for embedded leases — identified assets and right-of-control language flagged for assessment.

Audit evidence packages

Page-cited abstracts that trace every recognised figure back to the source clause — ready for external-auditor sampling.

Subleases & intercompany leases

Sublease terms and intercompany arrangements abstracted for lessor-side classification and elimination entries.

// How it works

From lease file to recognition-ready data in four steps

No implementation consultants, no template maintenance. Upload your lease portfolio and receive structured, reviewable data your lease accounting engine can consume.

01

Ingest

Upload single leases, bulk zip archives or the entire lease repository. Email forwarding, SharePoint sync and API ingestion all supported.

02

AI abstracts & classifies

Models identify the document type — lease, amendment, embedded-lease contract — then extract every recognition input with a confidence score per field.

03

Accounting team reviews

Low-confidence fields and judgment items — reasonably-certain renewal options, variable payment structures — surface in a review queue. Every decision logged with timestamp and user.

04

Push to your systems

Export to Excel, CSV or JSON. Push to Visual Lease, ProLease, your ERP lease module or any lease accounting engine via API.

// Built for lease accounting teams

Precision extraction for balance-sheet recognition

Leases are dense, multi-page and non-standard. LeaseAbstractors is built for exactly this — reading payment tables across page breaks, interpreting defined-term cross-references and capturing the option language behind every term judgment.

Recognition input dataset
Payment schedules, term dates, options, incentives and residual guarantees extracted and indexed — ready to import into your ASC 842 / IFRS 16 calculation engine.
Discount-rate inputs
Stated interest rates, rate-implicit clauses, currency and term length captured per lease — the structured inputs your treasury team needs to assign incremental borrowing rates.
Term & option judgments
Renewal, termination and purchase options extracted with exercise windows, notice periods and penalties — the evidence base for reasonably-certain term assessments.
API-first integration
POST a lease, receive structured JSON. Feed your lease accounting software, ERP lease module or close-management platform in an afternoon.
Bulk adoption & remeasurement mode
Process the entire lease population overnight at adoption, then re-run individual leases on modification. Results consolidate into a single, merge-ready dataset.

What lease accounting teams say

We ran LeaseAbstractors over 1,800 leases during our IFRS 16 re-baselining. What would have taken the team a full quarter took nine days, and every figure in the right-of-use schedule traces to a page citation our auditors could verify directly.
G
Group Financial Controller
Multinational Retail Group
"Our ASC 842 adoption stalled for months on data collection. With LeaseAbstractors, the embedded-lease screen alone surfaced 40 contracts we would have missed — the abstraction itself ran over two weekends."
D
Director of Technical Accounting
Logistics & Distribution Company
"The audit log was the deciding factor for our external auditors. Every extracted figure, every reviewer edit, fully exportable and page-cited. PBC requests that took days now take minutes."

Talk to our team

Which ASC 842 / IFRS 16 inputs does LeaseAbstractors extract?

LeaseAbstractors extracts lessor and lessee entities, commencement and expiration dates, fixed and variable payment schedules, escalation mechanics, renewal, termination and purchase options with exercise windows, residual value guarantees, incentives and initial direct costs, and stated or implicit rate clauses — across any lease layout, with no template required.

Can it handle scanned or decades-old lease documents?

Yes. LeaseAbstractors combines OCR pre-processing with AI to read rotated, deskewed and low-resolution scans, including typewriter-era originals. Confidence scores surface fields that need human review, so your team knows exactly where to spend attention.

Does it help with the reasonably-certain lease term judgment?

LeaseAbstractors does not make the judgment for you — it extracts the evidence: every option, its term, exercise window, notice requirement and penalty, cited to the source page. Your accounting team applies the judgment with the full clause set in front of them.

Is lease content used to train AI models?

No. Customer documents are never used to retrain or improve LeaseAbstractors models. Leases are processed under strict data-processing isolation and can be automatically purged after extraction completes.

Can I run LeaseAbstractors over our entire lease population at adoption?

Yes. Bulk ingestion accepts zip archives, SharePoint links or API-pushed batches of thousands of leases. LeaseAbstractors classifies each document, extracts recognition inputs per type, and consolidates results into a single exportable dataset ready for your calculation engine.

What certifications and compliance documentation is available?

LeaseAbstractors holds SOC 2 Type II certification. We provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for GDPR Article 28, a security questionnaire pack and audit-log exports suitable for SOX walkthroughs. Contact our team for the full compliance documentation set.
