SCSK Corporation (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Takaaki Toma; hereinafter "SCSK") has released a "Real Estate Management System" specialized for real estate leasing within its AI-native next-generation ERP "PROACTIVE," in preparation for the accounting standards for leases (hereinafter "New Lease Accounting Standards") applicable from the fiscal year starting April 2027 or later. In addition to this, by adapting the "Lease Asset Management" function to legal changes, the management and accounting processing of real estate lease contracts and movable property lease contracts are seamlessly connected on "PROACTIVE," enabling rapid and efficient compliance with the New Lease Accounting Standards.
1. Background
Under the New Lease Accounting Standards announced by the Accounting Standards Board of Japan in September 2024, it will generally become mandatory to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for real estate lease transactions starting in April 2027. Therefore, even for real estate contracts previously treated as expenses under rent, an increased burden in accounting operations is expected, such as grasping contract details, calculating amounts, and recalculating upon contract modifications. Furthermore, since it significantly impacts financial indicators like the equity ratio, companies are facing challenges such as estimating impacts and finalizing first-year recorded amounts. For movable property leases as well, a re-evaluation of previously excluded transactions and handling differences between accounting and tax treatments are necessary, leading to more complex compliance.
Against this background, PROACTIVE provides functions that seamlessly integrate the contract management and accounting processing of real estate leases and movable property leases. This resolves information silos between general affairs/property management departments and accounting departments, streamlining everything from managing long-term, complex real estate contracts to accounting processing, thereby achieving rapid compliance with the New Lease Accounting Standards and improving transparency for audits.
2. Features of the Real Estate Management System
The Real Estate Management System is specialized for real estate lease contracts. It covers business requirements that were difficult to handle with conventional lease asset management, such as long-term contracts, rent revisions, free rents, contract renewals, and partial cancellations unique to real estate leasing operations. By accommodating these, it efficiently manages real estate lease contracts.
Real Estate Property Management Function
Basic information such as location, purpose, area, and completion date can be registered and managed for each real estate property. Property information can also be managed by non-accounting departments, such as general affairs or real estate management. Compared to traditional Excel management, it prevents data re-entry for information previously scattered across departments, eliminating inconsistencies or regressions caused by update discrepancies. This ensures that data management is always up-to-date and consistent.
Real Estate Contract Management Function
For each real estate lease contract, ancillary items such as leasehold rights, security deposits, and asset retirement obligations (restoration costs upon move-out) can be entered, alongside lease classification data, lease period, lease fee, and payment method. Based on this information, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are calculated, and depreciation and payment schedules are automatically recalculated, allowing smooth handling of contract modifications.
Integration Function with Accounting Systems
Recording data for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as well as depreciation data, can be linked to the financial accounting system, while rent payment information can be linked to the accounts payable management system. This streamlines the creation of financial statements and rent payment operations.
3. Features of the Lease Asset Management System
The Lease Asset Management System is primarily suitable for managing movable property leases. It handles ownership-transfer and non-transfer lease transactions as well as rental transactions, comprehensively managing everything from contract management to accounting processing. It also supports cases where there are differences between accounting and tax treatments, enabling the data management and output necessary for tax return adjustments.
Lease Contract Management Function
Contract information such as lease period, lease fees, and payment conditions can be registered and managed. In addition to contract formats unique to movable property like small-amount or short-term leases, it supports bulk registration and bulk transfer of contracts, realizing flexible and efficient management.
Various Form Output Functions
It can output various forms essential for practical operations, such as lease asset ledgers, depreciation schedules, and information required for notes and disclosures.
Migration from Existing Lease Assets
Existing lease asset information can be converted in bulk into a format compatible with the New Lease Accounting Standards. Based on the book value at the time of migration, it calculates the asset and liability amounts to be recorded in accordance with the New Lease Accounting Standards. Since currently registered data can be utilized as is, the burden of migration work for legal compliance is significantly reduced.
4. Future Development
SCSK will continue to respond to institutional changes and tax reforms while expanding functions and improving convenience based on users' usage status and needs. By continuously strengthening the functions of "PROACTIVE," SCSK will support companies in streamlining business operations and advancing business management, as well as complying with the New Lease Accounting Standards.
