A1 nailed it. That’s the core of it, here is a great illustration of the differences. https://www.mossadams.com/getmedia/bd25a65c-6ac3-4c16-a196-d99d2bb01132/moss-adams_lease-accounting-guide.pdf?ext=.pdf

Symmetrical accounting. Show investors / users of your FS the value of all leased assets and associated liabilities.

Remove some of the nonsense rules from 840 that made lease structuring a pain in the ass (but potentially lucrative) or added unnecessary complexity to things like sales-leaseback.

Scott Muir is a legend

ASC842 triggers embedded leases even with service contracts that has implied equipment. There is a decision tree in ASC 842 to make the determination whether that service contract is an embedded lease.

Without this provision, the service contracts get booked as expense recognized over the term of the contract.

I am an Audit S1 that wants to work in a B4 Forensics practice. Would it be best for me to accept an offer in Forensics at a much smaller firm (local, 150ish total employees) to gain experience and then try to move to B4 Forensics? Or should I stay in Audit and wait for B4 Forensics positions to open up? Please let me know your thoughts!

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan.

What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
