Crunchafi Hosts Webinar to Help Firms Navigate Judgment Calls and “Fine Print” Under ASC 842

Crunchafi announced a CPE-qualified webinar titled “ASC 842 Fine Print: Navigating Judgment Calls and Audit Risk” aimed at helping accounting and audit professionals manage complex judgment areas under ASC 842, such as lease measurement, discount rates, and reassessment criteria, by providing practical guidance and real-world examples to improve consistency, reduce audit risk, and strengthen documentation during ongoing lease compliance.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crunchafi, a leader in SaaS technology for accounting and financial professionals, announced a new CPE-qualified webinar, “ASC 842 Fine Print: Navigating Judgment Calls and Audit Risk.” This session is designed to help firms address areas of professional judgment that directly affect lease measurement, documentation, and audit outcomes under ASC 842.

As firms continue to operationalize ASC 842, the most challenging issues have shifted from basic implementation to the nuanced decisions that drive ongoing compliance and audit scrutiny. The webinar will provide real-world examples and practical guidance, equipping audit and accounting professionals with approaches for applying consistent, supportable judgments during periods of increased workload. This aims to reduce audit risk and strengthen documentation across lease portfolios.

Learning objectives for the session include:

  • Identifying key judgment areas under ASC 842 that affect lease measurement and ongoing compliance
  • Evaluating approaches for determining appropriate discount rates and assessing purchase options
  • Distinguishing lease changes that require reassessment from those that do not
  • Applying consistent, supportable judgment in ASC 842 workflows to reduce audit risk

Jess Vento, senior director of solution engineering, education & support at Crunchafi, stated: “This webinar is focused on the decisions that keep accountants up at night, the nuanced calls that can materially impact lease balances and audit findings. Our goal is to give firms clear, practical frameworks they can rely on so ASC 842 judgment calls become more consistent, defensible, and efficient across the board.”
