Understanding how cloud computing structures may impact accounting is pivotal to entering into arrangements that not only meet operational needs, but also achieve the desired financial goals. Understanding how to interpret the various accounting alternatives could mean the difference between capitalizing amounts on the balance sheet and recognizing the costs over time or expensing costs immediately. As new tech capabilities arise, organizations all over the world are exploring cloud-based technologies——especially with the recent increase in demand for work-from-anywhere and other agile work arrangements.
The potential benefits of transitioning from on-premise technology-related hardware to cloud computing arrangements are quite well-known: increased scalability, higher system availability, disaster recovery optionality, and more. Overall, these benefits, coupled with taking the burden off hardware ownership and management, have been the primary drivers for continued cloud adoption.
Yet, this sudden change is exposing information technology IT groups and finance departments to potential economic challenges and budgeting constraints, as the structure of the arrangement could impact the resulting accounting, which, in turn, is driving the need for increased collaboration between IT and accounting professionals to properly structure the arrangement to achieve the desired accounting outcome.
How can IT and accounting teams work together to identify contracting structures that allow investment in technology solutions while achieving a specific accounting treatment? With costs often front of mind, organizations are constantly looking for potential savings to offset investment costs. The answers to these questions can further impact accounting for cloud computing arrangements.

If so, the organization would generally be required to recognize the leased equipment on its balance sheet as an asset related to the right to use the equipment and a liability related to payments owed. When exploring different options for migrating to cloud-based technology, organizations should consider the complexity and nuances of accounting for cloud computing.
Interested parties should not rule out a migration to the cloud simply because of perceived cost, but should instead consider the impact this shift could have on their organization overall.
