The impact of Sarbanes Oxley on copier leasing with regard to financial disclosures can be confusing. Scott Harman, a technology writer, has done a good job of outlining the basic issues in a recent article.

He notes the ways in which a lease may be closer to a sale and thus treated as such by the government. If a deal is categorized as a sale rather than a copier lease, it can reduce the potential tax benefits and force a company to recognize its assets differently.
