New AI Feature for Lease Management
As companies prepare for the upcoming new lease accounting standards mandated to take effect on April 1, 2027, Infomart Co., based in Minato, Tokyo, is launching a new feature within its BtoB platform aimed at easing compliance. Set to debut in October 2026, this AI-driven assessment capability will automatically evaluate lease transactions based on contract documents, assisting various departments such as accounting, legal, and operations in mitigating inconsistencies and oversight risks.
Background of the New Feature
The introduction of the new lease accounting standards mandates that all leases be recorded as assets and liabilities on balance sheets. A significant challenge for listed companies and large enterprises involves identifying “hidden leases” — those that may not explicitly state “lease” in their contracts but still function as leases in practice. To comply, organizations will need to retroactively assess previous contracts for their lease status, which is likely to increase the operational burden on their teams.
In response to this pressing concern, Infomart decided to incorporate an AI-powered feature in the BtoB platform contract tool to automate the assessment of lease agreements.
Key Features of the New Functionality
1.
Automated Assessment by AI: The system will utilize initial contract data to determine the likelihood of a transaction being a lease.
2.
Utilization of Assessment Information: Users will be able to download judgment results, allowing integration with existing accounting and asset management systems.
3.
Justification of Decisions: Beyond merely identifying potential lease agreements, the tool will present the rationale for each judgment, thereby providing robust support for decision-making.
Future Developments
Infomart remains committed to continually enhancing its offerings in line with legal changes, aiming to ensure compliance while further improving productivity and facilitating digital transformation in back-office operations.
