⏱️Lease accounting under FRS102 is changing.. are you ready?

https://leisurepropertyforum.co.uk/event/webinar-lease-accounting-is-changing/

From 1 January 2026, the new FRS 102 rules mean most property leases will move onto the Balance Sheet. For an industry built on leasehold sites, that’s more than a tweak – the impact will be felt throughout the business.

✅ EBITDA rising as rent is swapped for depreciation and interest

✅Balance Sheets bulking up with Right-of-Use assets

✅Covenants and lender conversations taking on new flavours

✅Some businesses tipping over the small company threshold

Our members' webinar will look at how a proactive review now can help you:

👉🏽Understand the new reporting landscape

👉🏽Update forecasting before surprises hit service

👉🏽Keep lenders, investors and boards confidently in the loop

Our expert is Isabelle Shepherd , Partner at HaysMac who will give a presentation followed by a Q&A session with Alex Hutchings, Head of Real estate at Greenwoods and Lauren Courtney, Finance Director for the Incipio Group.
