Is an Internal or External Lease Management Center of Excellence (CoE) Right for You as a Large Lessee?

Welcome to myCPE

Pros, Cons, and Roadmap to Success

Learning Objectives

To identify the key differences between outsourcing lease management and building an internal Center of Excellence (CoE), enabling organizations to make informed decisions about their lease management strategy.
To explore strategies for streamlining complex lease management processes that involve multiple stakeholders across different divisions and geographies, fostering collaboration and efficiency within the organization.
To emphasize the pivotal role of technology and data in internal lease management, equipping participants with insights into leveraging cutting-edge tools and data analytics to drive transformative change in lease management practices.

Course Description

The adoption of ASC 842 and IFRS 16 has transformed lease management for companies, sparking discussions on outsourcing options and the benefits of centralized lease functions.

While numerous publications and webinars have shed light on the advantages of outsourcing, there is a notable lack of guidance for organizations considering the establishment of an internal Center of Excellence (CoE) or centralizing specific lease functions. Given the varied processes involving multiple stakeholders across different divisions and geographies, each with specific skill sets, this can be particularly challenging. This webinar will explore those considerations unique to lessees, with a particular focus on people and technology, using data and accounting to drive change.

In this CPE Accounting Webinar, we will examine and discuss the following topics:

Process identification: How to identify the processes within lease management that are ready for change (lease negotiation, end of term, accounting, etc.)
Skill set identification: How to determine the skill sets required in the Lease Management CoE.
Software and integration capabilities: How software and integration capabilities can facilitate centralization while maintaining control.
Data and technology interaction: How the CoE utilizes data and technology to interact with accounting stakeholders.
Spend control: How to leverage the CoE and technology to help Treasury and Procurement control spending at lease inception, and asset owners at the end of term.
