This webinar, co-hosted by Sierra Digital and SAP, will assist government accounting officials with GASB 87 compliance by (1) reviewing requirements; (2) exploring software and services which dramatically reduce compliance time and expense; and (3) showcasing a real-time Case History with City of Houston officials who are now in the midst of a GASB 87 compliance initiative.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for U.S. state and local governments that follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

By or before June 15, 2021, U.S. state and local governments are required to comply with GASB Statement No. 87, Leases (GASB 87).

GASB 87 changes the reporting requirements of lease liabilities which were not previously reported on the Balance Sheet. For example: (1) all operating leases will now be classified as Finance Leases; (2) lessors are required to record lease receivables and deferred inflow of resources; and (3) new disclosures are required which were previously not required.

Sierra Digital, a digital transformation company based in Houston, Texas, Sierra has successfully implemented more than 50 Contract and Lease Management projects in SAP and non-SAP environments globally.
