Market fluctuations create challenges for accounting teams who are adjusting and applying appropriate discount rates to lease modifications.

Interest rates increased markedly in 2022 and directly impacted borrowing costs. But as the Federal Reserve pushed rates higher, U.S. economic growth slowed considerably, and recession concerns grew.

These factors may lead to an increase in interest rate volatility for 2023. What does that mean for lease accounting professionals? Matt Waters, CPA, Director of Lease Accounting with CoStar Real Estate Manager will walk us through what to expect in the coming months.

3 learning objectives:
  1. Define interest rate volatility.
  2. Discover how discount rates and interest rates overlap.
  3. Define and explore the Incremental Borrowing Rate.
