Presentation handouts are located on FMX’s Accounting Policy Meetings page specific to that meeting date.

Leases

The LeaseQuery launch is temporarily delayed. Watch for announcements about system availability, training and user information.

You should ensure that you have the proper security access as soon as possible. Contact your agency’s security coordinator to request LeaseQuery access for each agency number you are reporting. Unlike the Comptroller’s AFR web applications, login credentials will come from LeaseQuery when access is granted.

LeaseQuery produces amortization schedules and journal entries. LeaseQuery does not have access to USAS. It will be up to the agency to enter them in USAS.
