University Accounting and Financial Reporting (UAFR) have created a series of new lease account codes in addition to updating existing lease account codes to ensure compliance with requirements set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that went into effect on July 1, 2021. These updates have been integrated into both Banner and the Account Code Search application.
These lease expense account codes should only be used when all of the following conditions are met:
- The lease terms do not convey ownership rights;
- The lease term, including renewal options, is greater than one year; and
- The total payments over the term of the lease agreement sum to a value greater than or equal to $5,000.
