So IFRS16 is really really complicated as it stands and then if you got a large group with lots of entities and lots of currencies and lots of ERP systems you very quickly realize you can't do it in Excel.

So we looked at a number of different accounting solutions.

We very quickly saw that some could not cope with a lot of currencies, they could not cope with a lot of chart of accounts and then we saw CCH Tagetik and CCH Tagetik could cope with all of those things, it had a strong accounting engine, great reporting capabilities it just seemed to tick all of the boxes.

IFRS16 is very broad and rigid, it impacts a lot of functions, all the way from purchasing, all the way up to the CFO, who asks us to explain on numbers so we needed something we could rely upon, CCH Tagetik is very very easy to use, it's very quick so we didn't have to hire extra people to cope with lease accounting or to manufacture our own types of reports, we can fully rely on CCH Tagetik for everything that we need.

Transitioning to IFRS16 had broad-reaching consequences it hit many areas of our business as we expected so in many regards the process was equally as important as the accounting.
