CFO Coffee Break EMEA · Lease Accounting, Sorted

IFRS 16 changed the rules. For most EMEA finance teams, it didn't change the workload. Lease schedules still get rebuilt in Excel. Journal entries still get exported by hand. Audit evidence still gets assembled at quarter-end. The system is there - the manual steps never left. This three-part CFO Coffee Break series tackles that gap directly. Each session is under 20 minutes, led live by Tamsin Hitchmough, insightsoftware's EMEA Account Manager, and built around a working product demonstration. No slides, no sales pitch. Practical, current information on how automated lease accounting works in practice - and where it can save your team time today. Session 1 of 3 | From Spreadsheet to IFRS 16 Compliance: A Live EZLease Walkthrough Tamsin opens with a brief framing of where manual overhead persists post-IFRS 16, then hands straight over to a live EZLease walkthrough covering lease intake, amortisation scheduling, automated journal entry generation, and audit-ready compliance reporting. Session 2 of 3 | LeaseAccelerator for Enterprise: Managing Complex Lease Portfolios Compliantly For organisations managing large or complex portfolios across multiple entities, standards, and asset classes, Tamsin demonstrates live how Real Estate Manager and Lease Accounting Manager operate as a single integrated workflow, with no manual handoffs between teams. Session 3 of 3 | Audit-Ready Lease Reporting: From Trial Balance to Disclosure in One Step The closing session of the series. Tamsin shows live how the system generates IFRS 16 disclosure notes, amortisation schedules, roll-forward summaries, and a complete audit trail without an offline rebuild at quarter-end

IFRS 16 is embedded in most EMEA finance teams' close cycle. But for many, the compliance milestone brought new technology without removing the manual effort alongside it - lease schedules rebuilt in Excel, journal entries exported by hand, disclosure notes assembled at quarter-end. In this 20-minute CFO Coffee Break session, Tamsin Hitchmough from our EMEA Account Management Team opens with a brief framing of where manual overhead persists post-IFRS 16 - then hands straight over to a walkthrough showing what automated lease accounting actually looks like in practice. In this 20-minute walkthrough, you’ll see:

• How lease data flows from intake to amortisation schedule without manual re-keying

• Automated journal entry generation under IFRS 16 - straight to the GL

• Compliance reports generated directly from the system, audit-ready without an end-of-month rebuild

• Where the manual steps most teams still run alongside their system can be eliminated

No more than 20 minutes - no padding, no slides-only content. Drop your questions in the chat and Tamsin will take them in the final three minutes.

At a certain scale, lease complexity stops being a process problem and starts being an organisational one. Real estate and accounting teams coordinating by email. Journal entries manually exported to ERP. Modifications recorded at month-end rather than when they happen. Evergreen leases rolling unnoticed at a 15%+ cost premium. This session is for organisations managing large or complex lease portfolios - multiple entities, multiple standards, multiple asset classes. Tamsin Hitchmough opens with a two-minute framing of where integrated lease lifecycle management creates measurable ROI, then demonstrates it live in LeaseAccelerator from insightsoftware. The walkthrough focuses on the integrated workflow between Real Estate Manager and Lease Accounting Manager - showing how a single lease event in one module flows automatically to the other, without an email, a meeting, or a manual export. In this walkthrough, we will cover:

• A lease modification triggered in Real Estate Manager flowing automatically to the Lease Accounting Manager - no manual handoff

• System-generated IBR, lease classification, and journal entries - reviewed and approved in the platform

• Multi-standard output from a single lease record: IFRS 16 and local GAAP simultaneously

20 minutes. Drop questions in the chat - Tamsin will address them in the final three minutes.

Audit season exposes every manual step in your lease accounting process. The teams that move fastest aren't working harder at quarter-end - they've built a workflow where audit-ready reports are a by-product of how they run lease accounting every day. This is the closing session of the Lease Accounting, Sorted series. Tamsin Hitchmough opens with a two-minute frame on where EMEA teams most commonly face audit pressure - then walks through how the system generates disclosure-ready output without an offline rebuild. In this walkthrough, we will cover:

• IFRS 16 disclosure notes directly from the system - no Excel assembly

• Amortisation schedules and roll-forward summaries at the push of a button

• A complete audit trail from lease event to journal entry - defensible and traceable

• Compliance reports covering the full portfolio, ready to hand to your auditors

20 minutes total. The final three minutes are open for questions - bring anything specific about your own audit process or reporting workflow.
