Background:
Last August, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) sent shockwaves through the commercial real estate world when they proposed significant changes to how leases must be recorded in a company’s financial statements.  Although the Boards continue to deliberate, every major company (any company that follows GAAP) will be impacted by the upcoming changes.  At a minimum, substantial attention and manpower will be required to comply with the new rules.  But the changes could also impact such decisions as whether to lease or buy or how buildings will be serviced.
