The adoption by FCDO of a new accounting standard (International Financial reporting Standard [IFRS] 16), now demands a level of rigour and accuracy in accounting for FCDO leases. It is proposed to centralise all lease data inputting into a hub to improve accuracy. To do this FCDO is seeking to set up an (initially) outsourced, lease management hub to process all FCDO lease events (new leases, lease extensions, rent reviews and lease terminations). FCDO is now creating centralised lease management service to proactively identify upcoming lease events for properties overseas, and to retrieve the details of those events with supporting documentation, and for a dedicated team of lease managers to enter that data into the IWMS system (Planon) and then quality assure and approve that data in the system. This will improve the accuracy of the accounting outputs and also assist FCDO to comply with cross government property standards (GOVS_004). The service will also work with FCDO Finance team to make corrections in Planon that arise from reconciliations within the accounting system - the reconciliation work will be undertaken by the FCDO Finance Team.
