Case Study: Poarch Creek Band of Indians achieves GASB 87 compliance and audit-ready lease visibility with Visual Lease

Poarch Creek Band of Indians - Customer Case Study

The Poarch Creek Band of Indians, a federally recognized tribe based in Atmore, Alabama with a portfolio of 1,500+ leases across real estate, equipment, and vehicles, needed to comply with the new GASB 87 standard and to rein in decentralized lease activity across departments. Assistant CFO Dominic Cromartie selected Visual Lease’s lease management and lease accounting software after evaluating systems for ease of use and robust accounting functionality.

Visual Lease implemented a centralized lease repository and approval process, automated GASB 87 calculations, and provided reporting used for ad hoc needs and quarter‑end close. As a result, the Poarch Creek Band of Indians now presents accurate lease liabilities to its tribal council, has improved financial and operational controls, streamlined audits and disclosures, and manages its 1,500+ leases with greater transparency and compliance.
