GenAI Contract Analysis IFRS16

Reviewing more than 44,000 contracts manually would turn IFRS 16 analysis into a months-long exercise, with human error embedded in the process. The company used Generative AI and OCR to automate contract reading, identify IFRS 16-related rules and entities, and feed key information into its ERP control flow. The resulting process evaluates each document in 23.5 seconds and reaches 91% effectiveness in rule identification.

Turning contract volume into measurable IFRS 16 analysis

The company automated the analysis of more than 44,000 contracts with a Generative AI and OCR model. The solution detects IFRS 16-related entities such as term, acquisition clauses, CAPEX and OPEX, extracts information required by the ERP control flow, and supports payback and ROI estimation per contract.

From months of manual review to 23.5 seconds per contract
目的
The objective was to evaluate more than 44,000 contracts automatically against IFRS 16 criteria while extracting the information required for the ERP control flow. The programme also needed to calculate payback and ROI estimates per contract, replacing a manual review process with a repeatable analytical workflow capable of operating at portfolio scale.
機会
The contract portfolio contained the information needed for IFRS 16 analysis, but accessing it manually at this volume created a significant processing burden and exposed the workflow to human error. Generative AI combined with OCR offered a way to read documents at machine speed, identify relevant contractual rules and entities, and convert unstructured contract content into data that could move directly into downstream ERP controls. The opportunity was not simply faster document reading, but a measurable and auditable path from contract text to finance operations.
Manual contract review at impossible scale

The company needed to process a very large contract portfolio while identifying IFRS 16 criteria consistently, extracting structured information for the ERP and reducing dependence on manual review.

主な課題
Modern corporate office campus with contemporary glass buildings.
1: Volume beyond manual review
More than 44,000 contracts had to be evaluated, making manual analysis a months-long exercise.
Filing cabinet containing categorized lease agreement records for properties, vehicles, equipment, and IT infrastructure.
2: Exposure to human error
The existing manual process was prone to errors when identifying and interpreting contract rules.
Professional reviewing an IFRS 16 analytics dashboard displaying lease contract assessments, compliance status indicators, performance metrics, and automated analysis results generated from contract data.
3: Unstructured data for ERP controls
Key contractual entities had to be extracted from documents and converted into data usable by the ERP control flow.
AI-powered IFRS 16 contract analysis and automated data extraction.
4: Consistent IFRS 16 rule identification
The process needed a repeatable way to identify and analyse relevant contract rules across the full portfolio.

IFRS 16 analysis at machine speed

The automated process evaluated more than 44,000 contracts, reducing execution time to 23.5 seconds per document. The model achieved 91% effectiveness in the identification and analysis of contract rules, while automation reduced human-error exposure and supplied key data to the ERP control flow. The source characterises the previous manual exercise as taking months, but does not provide a quantified before-and-after duration.
