Converting Operating Lease Expenses

Convert operating lease expenses into financing expenses and restates operating income and debt outstanding

Description
Operating lease expenses are really financial expenses, and should be treated as such. Accounting standards allow them to be treated as operating expenses. This program will convert commitments to make operating leases into debt and adjust the operating income accordingly, by adding back the imputed interest expense on this debt.
