Catch Up With The Recording of Our Webinar With PwC

The Use of Leasing as a Commercial and Strategic Choice in a Post-COVID World

Catch Up With Our Post-Event Recording

PwC and Quadrent discuss how leasing can aid commercial and strategic decision making

In a post-COVID world, we’ve seen borrowing levels are constrained, and operational flexibility is critical. Additionally, the introduction of IFRS16 has increased compliance but has also provided an influx of data.

Identifying optimal solutions to finance and manage assets has never been more challenging for finance teams than it is today. However, with historically low-interest rates on the rise, this could be the event to drive you to review your utilisation of leasing and look at the opportunities it can provide.

Watch the recording of our event with Sean Rugers, Partner at PwC Australia and Mark Russell, Chief Transformation Officer at PwC NZ. Sean gives us insights and guidance on how to look for ways to identify areas that could utilise the leasing product; and the decision-making processes PwC goes through for their IT leasing, which mirrors many large organisations and their requirements for flexible working environments and the need to have the best technology for their team.

Learning outcomes:

An overview of what a leasing structure can deliver throughout an asset lifecycle within the post-COVID world.
Understanding the asset lifecycle and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), including the components of a TCO analysis.
What are some common areas that organisations use leasing for and some they don’t, but should look at?
How has IFRS 16 changed the way traditional leasing structures are viewed.
PwC's overview of the key areas where lease portfolio decisions are having a positive impact for their clients.
