Key statistic
Handoff design
Use a lease register with counterparty, location, dates, payment terms, amendments, source link, owner, and review status. Reconcile payments to the register.
Change controls
Queue new agreements, renewals, concessions, terminations, payment changes, and missing approvals. Preserve prior versions rather than overwriting history.
Methodology and limitations
Lease accounting depends on facts and applicable standards. This report addresses bookkeeping evidence and escalation, not measurement or classification advice.
