Operating Lease Converter
Operating lease expenses are really financial expenses, and should be treated as such. Accounting standards allow them to
be treated as operating expenses. This program will convert commitments to make operating leases into debt and
adjust the operating income accordingly, by adding back the imputed interest expense on this debt.
