Multibook Inc. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Manabu Watabe; hereinafter "the Company") announces that its global cloud ERP service "multibook" has exceeded 750 companies in cumulative implementations and 40 countries in cumulative implementation regions as of April 24, 2026.
In recent years, the environment surrounding accounting and finance departments has changed significantly. There is an increasing number of multifaceted requirements, including the integration of accounting and management data across overseas subsidiaries, strengthening governance, standardizing operations, and responding to chronic labor shortages. In addition, preparations for compliance with the new lease accounting standards, which will be mandatorily applied to fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2027, are in full swing.
To meet these market needs, the Company provides support through both its global cloud ERP "multibook" and its global BPO service "Multibook Outsourcing."
## Background of Implementation Expansion: Driven by Demand for Global Accounting Infrastructure and New Lease Accounting Standard Compliance
There are two major trends behind the widespread adoption of "multibook."
One is continuous investment in the centralization and standardization of accounting and management data, including that of overseas subsidiaries. The demand for multi-currency, multi-book, multi-language environments, operational standardization, and business process outsourcing (BPO) is driving adoption.
The other is the demand for compliance with new lease accounting standards, which will be mandatorily applied to listed companies and others for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2027. With the application deadline approaching, system development covering everything from contract management to monthly operations and audit response is in full swing, and the pace of adoption in the lease asset management domain has particularly increased.
## Key Points of "multibook's" New Lease Accounting Standard Compliance
multibook's lease asset management function implements AI-driven lease contract determination and is a service fully compliant with Japan's new lease accounting standards. It supports not only lease asset management and the creation of accounting journal entries for Japanese bases, but also the creation of consolidated adjustment journal entries related to leases for overseas subsidiaries.
1) Minimizing Input through AI, Automatic Settings, and Automatic Calculation
AI provides lease contract determination and input support, automatic determination of small-value, short-term, and asset capitalization, automatic setting of discount rates, and automatic calculation of initial right-of-use asset amounts, initial lease liability amounts, monthly depreciation expenses, lease liability repayment amounts, and interest expense amounts. Furthermore, it can output note information and amortization schedules for each lease contract.
2) Support for Consolidated Financial Statements (Lease Assets of Overseas Subsidiaries)
For overseas local subsidiaries, lease processing based on local standards and the interest-inclusive method is applied. For head office consolidation, information such as sales processing (principal method) under Japan's new lease accounting standards/IFRS standards is managed for each lease object, allowing for automatic output of consolidated adjustment journal entry information.
3) Automation of Complex Lease Contracts
AI provides lease contract determination and input support, automatic determination of small-value, short-term, and asset capitalization, automatic setting of discount rates, and automatic calculation of initial right-of-use asset amounts, initial lease liability amounts, monthly depreciation expenses, lease liability repayment amounts, and interest expense amounts. Furthermore, it can output note information and amortization schedules for each lease contract.
4) Affordable Price and Shortest Implementation Period of 2 Weeks
Based on its extensive experience and know-how cultivated through IFRS 16 compliance, the Company has developed features to comply with Japan's new lease accounting standards. Functions backed by practical experience have been highly evaluated, and over 63 companies have already decided to implement them. In addition to accounting journal entries for Japanese bases, it also supports the output of consolidated adjustment journal entries and consolidated note information related to leases for overseas subsidiaries, thereby assisting the entire group with compliance with new lease accounting standards.
## Future Outlook
The Company is actively promoting the use of AI in responding to the new lease accounting standards. In March 2026, it released an AI OCR function that automatically extracts lease information from contracts, and in April, it released the "AI Lease Determination" function, which uses AI to analyze contract content and automate lease identification and on-balance sheet determination. These functions significantly reduce the man-hours required for determination and data input, realizing labor savings for new lease accounting standard compliance.
Furthermore, beyond lease management functions, the Company is promoting AI utilization across all areas of ERP. It is developing "multibook-MCP," which links AI and ERP, enabling natural language inquiry, analysis, and journal entry generation of financial data. At the same time, AI is being incorporated into BPO services to automate routine tasks and improve service quality. Moving forward, the Company will continue to support accounting and finance departments in solving their challenges, from regulatory compliance to global management, through both product and operational support.
