ベンゴ4.com, the company behind CloudSign, and First Accounting, the team pushing accounting AI, have signed a partnership to roll out joint solutions that help companies deal with Japan’s new lease accounting standards hitting in April 2027. These rules will force listed companies, large corporations, subsidiaries, and affiliates to treat lease type transactions as assets. Sounds simple on paper. In reality, the grind lands on accounting and finance teams.
The pain points are clear. To begin with, the management of contracts has to be impeccable and completely digitalized. Firms have mountains of treaties disintegrated through paper, PDFs, interfacing drives, and outdated systems. Everything that falls into the category of leases must be monitored and verified for any existence. Second, once you identify those contracts, someone has to dig into them, judge whether the terms qualify as leases under the new rules, and extract the numbers that matter like fees and duration. It is highly specialized work and it eats time.
This is where the partnership kicks in. CloudSign handles the contract side with full digitization and central management. 最初の会計 brings its Accounting AI Agent powered by Deep Dean. Both systems link up so the AI can pull out lease fees, periods, and other required data with high accuracy. It also makes the lease or not a lease call automatically based on the new standards. The whole process from contract identification to judgment to generating accounting data becomes automated instead of being thrown on overworked accounting staff.
