LOIS: Evolving lease accounting and management

LOIS was created in 2017 in response to the International Accounting Standards Board’s introduction of IFRS 16, which came into effect on 1 January 2019.

Recognising the complexity and compliance challenges this would bring, we launched LOIS in Australia and New Zealand as a purpose-built lease accounting solution designed to make the transition simple.

Trusted across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, LOIS has grown into the market-leading platform for automating compliance and managing the full lease lifecycle.

Today, LOIS is entering an exciting new chapter.

A new era of focus

From October 2025, LOIS will operate as a standalone company. This step allows the team to sharpen their focus on product innovation, customer success, and delivering the most complete lease management platform on the market.

While the LOIS purpose remains the same – to simplify lease accounting, streamline compliance, manage leases effectively, and empower organisations to make smarter financial decisions – this shift provides greater flexibility to respond quickly to evolving compliance requirements and customer needs. 

This evolution brings with it the launch of the full-service property management module, developed for organisations seeking to improve their IFRS 16 reporting requirements alongside upgrading their lease management systems.

By delivering to the market a total platform that extends a best-in-class lease accounting solution with non-financial lease management and property functionality, LOIS becomes a unified, single source of truth for both finance and property teams.

Currently, there is no total tenant lease platform on the market with a centralised data entry point, resulting in fragmented data for what is often an organisations largest and most complex financial obligation.

With LOIS, organisations can:

• Revolutionise the interaction between finance and property teams
• Enrich key lease data points with property-specific information such as critical dates and notifications
• Seamlessly integrate into finance's IFRS 16 compliance requirements in a controlled and auditable manner
• Mitigate risks associated with reporting and managing the largest leased asset class for many businesses

LOIS has a new online home

To mark this milestone, we’ve launched:

• A new dedicated website: loisleasing.com
• A dedicated LinkedIn page: Follow LOIS on LinkedIn

Both will serve as hubs for updates, insights, and resources to help finance and property teams manage their leases with clarity and confidence.

Same trusted team, same platform

LOIS customers can rest assured that nothing is changing when it comes to the expert support you receive. LOIS continues to be backed by exactly the same trusted leadership team and CA-qualified leasing accountants who have guided the platform’s growth from day one.
