As the COVID-19 landscape continues to evolve, actions taken by real estate and investment trust (REIT) management teams have also shifted in real time.

To help with your ongoing evaluation of these changes, we’ll dive deeper into the REIT accounting, tax and disclosure matters covered during our April 23 webcast, taking into consideration the rapidly changing environment over the past 60 days. EY panelists will provide updates on various considerations for evaluating lease concessions, including key considerations for assessing the collectibility of lease receivables as of June 30. EY professionals will also discuss some practical approaches to monitoring long-lived and other assets for indicators of impairment and provide some insight on how to manage taxable income when considering the economic effects of rent concessions and other impacts to the business. EY panelists will also address the impact of the current environment on the assessment of collectibility of mortgage notes receivable, as well as considerations for the assessment of Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL).
