Registration & schedules

Add a lease. Get the full schedule.

Enter the contract terms once and ZenTreasury generates the right-of-use asset, the lease liability, and the period-by-period schedule automatically. Depreciation, interest, and balance carry-forward follow the standard from the moment the lease is saved. Your lease data stays structured and under your team’s control.

The ZenTreasury lease entry form, filled in: entity, counterparty, portfolio and cost centre, a customer reference and the IFRS accounting toggle set to yes, commencement and end dates, payments per year and payment day, currency, account and lease amount, beside a summary confirming a 60 month term and that all required fields are set
The schedule generated from those terms: payment date, lease payment, opening and closing liability, interest cost, principal repayment, and the right-of-use asset opening, depreciation and closing balance for each period

Modifications & remeasurements

Handle every change. Keep the audit trail.

Scope changes, term extensions, rate revisions and indexations each recalculate the schedule with the right IFRS 16 treatment, and log the change with a timestamp and user. Auditors get the before-and-after picture without asking.

ZenTreasury lease changes: a logged history showing initial terms at 45,000.00 followed by an increase in scope and term at 46,350.00, each stamped with the user who made it, above the lease flow schedule that recalculated from it

Multi-entity & multi-currency

Built for international portfolios.

Run the leases of every subsidiary in one system, with leases in foreign currencies revalued automatically at each reporting date. Period-end FX revaluation, retranslation differences and the resulting P&L impact are calculated and posted. Roll the whole portfolio forward at the click of a period close.

Roles & segregation of duties

IFRS 16 compliance controls your auditor expects.

Roles are permission sets your administrator edits, not fixed tiers. Creating a lease, posting a voucher, approving and viewing are each their own permission, and a user holds one or more roles scoped to the companies they work in. Segregation of duties is configured to your structure rather than assumed, and every action is attributed and timestamped.

Disclosures & reporting

Prebuilt reports for lease accounting and disclosures.

Notes maturity for the financial statements, lease changes, lease payments split between interest and repayment, month-end liability and asset values, and additions to both the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. Save your common configurations, schedule recurring exports, and feed your reporting pack without rebuilding the same query every quarter.

IFRS 16 software built to replace the spreadsheet model.

Most finance teams start IFRS 16 in a spreadsheet. It works until the portfolio grows: modifications overwrite history, formulas drift between entities, and every audit season starts with rebuilding the model. ZenTreasury is IFRS 16 lease accounting software that replaces that model with one governed system: contract terms in, schedules, journals and disclosures out.

Because the platform holds every lease, every version and every posting in one place, the numbers stay consistent across entities, currencies and periods. Your team works in one tool instead of a folder of workbooks, and your auditor verifies calculations instead of reconstructing them.

Independently reviewed by an international audit firm.

An international audit firm reviewed our IFRS 16 calculations, covering initial recognition, modifications, terminations, foreign currency contracts, interest and depreciation. The full review report is shared during the product walkthrough.

Property and real estate leases under IFRS 16.

Offices, retail units, warehouses and logistics sites are where most IFRS 16 portfolios carry their value, and their movement. Index-linked rent reviews and extensions each remeasure the lease with the right IFRS 16 treatment, so a property-heavy portfolio stays current without manual rework.

Whether the portfolio is fifty property leases in one country or hundreds across a group, each contract keeps its own schedule, journal history and audit trail. The same model covers vehicles, equipment and other leased assets alongside the real estate.

FAQ

What is IFRS 16?
IFRS 16 is the IASB lease accounting standard, effective 1 January 2019. It requires lessees to recognise most leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a matching lease liability, replacing the operating and finance lease split under IAS 17.
What does ZenTreasury calculate under IFRS 16?
ZenTreasury produces right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, amortisation and interest schedules, and journal entries. It handles lease modifications and remeasurements, index-linked indexation, and multi-currency leases with period-end retranslation.
How is ZenTreasury’s IFRS 16 accuracy assured?
Our IFRS 16 calculations, covering initial recognition, modifications, terminations, foreign currency contracts, interest and depreciation, were reviewed by an international audit firm. The full review report is shared during the product walkthrough.
Can my auditor verify the numbers?
Yes. Every schedule, voucher and report can be exported to Excel or PDF, and the calculations are transparent. Your auditor can reproduce and verify them independently.
When should we choose ZenTreasury for IFRS 16?
ZenTreasury fits finance teams managing leases across several entities or currencies, who need modifications, remeasurements and indexation handled consistently, who want journals and disclosures generated from contract terms, who need calculations their auditor can verify, and who want IFRS 16 out of spreadsheets.
Does ZenTreasury handle more than leases?
Yes. Lease accounting exposes the same problem finance teams face across loans and FX positions: contract terms sit outside the ERP, while accounting teams still need schedules, journals, disclosures and an audit trail. ZenTreasury extends the same governed model from IFRS 16 leases to treasury contracts, and tracks guarantees and their fee accruals alongside.
