LESSONS LEARNED AND SUMMARY
• What is a lease? - Accounting questionnaires and material assessment support in understanding what shall
be considered as leases under IFRS16
• Telia guidelines - Establishing common guidance on interpreting lease terms and interest rates is important
ACCOUNTING
since it has great impact on RoU assets and liabilities
• Accounting design - Accounting use cases for each IFRS16 trigger will help in deriving the IT requirements

• Lots of info needed - IFRS16 accounting and disclosures are raising new needs on contract master data
• System landscape may be messy - Different types of contracts were maintained in different systems, e.g. in
contract management systems, contract registries or excel
CONTRACT DATA
• Data capture is time consuming - It is a major activity to capture all the needed contract master data, but it
will pay of via renewed business processes and new control points

• New IT system - SAP RE-FX is a new module for Telia and is integrated with many existing SAP modules
• Impact on other processes - With the IFRS16 solution is impacting on several existing business processes,
IT e.g. contract management and invoice maintenance
COMPLEXITIES • Change management - IFRS16 also introduces new business processes for contracts, index maintenance,
etc. A more centralized and systematic approach requires change management internally and towards
vendors, and new roles & responsibilities.
