Did you know that businesses lose an average of $15 million every year from hidden commercial lease costs such as inaccurate data quality? Research confirming this aligns with a common business concept called the 1-10-100 rule - it costs an organisation $1 to verify the data at its point of entry, $10 to correct or clean up the data, and $100 (or more) per record if you do nothing!
Lease management is traditionally a very manual process, and therefore prone to these errors. What's more, since the adoption of IFRS 16 in 2019, the complexities of managing a portfolio of leases have increased. Together, the risk of errors and hidden commercial lease costs can lead to financial burdens on even the most profitable companies. This heightens the need for identifying hidden expenses and preventing exponential loss as a top priority for businesses.
What are the hidden commercial lease costs?
- Using inaccurate data. Data being shared, changed and duplicated in manual systems and spreadsheets can lead to failure in recognising financially unviable leases, or, failing to recognise viable leasing opportunities.
- Human error. The significant costs of manual data entry mistakes, if left unmanaged, can compound with every lease/lease period.
- Missed options. Due to poor alerting capabilities, this can result in a lost lease, significant rent increase, or even a lawsuit.
- Incorrect charges. Inaccuracies in tracking invoices can result in lease payments being made multiple times and/or for incorrect amounts, leading to substantial overpayments.
- Non-compliance with IFRS 16 standards. Potential new business may be based on an assessment of your balance sheets, and if you’re not compliant with the standards, this may disadvantage you, resulting in a loss of potential revenue.
These hidden commercial lease costs pose financial and reputational risks while your leases continue to be managed via manual systems and spreadsheets. No matter how many processes you have in place to address this, they will never capture all inaccuracies. The adverse impact of this ultimately robs your organisation’s financial position and bottom line.
