EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – GE Capital Solutions Fleet Services announce that two members of its Maintenance & Safety Solutions team have received top automotive and fleet industry recognitions.

Paul Heschke, a technical advisor on GE's Maintenance & Safety Solutions team, has been awarded the World-Class Technician Award from the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA). Professional technicians must successfully complete the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification in 22 specialty areas. Since the award was established in 1987, fewer than 1,750 technicians have received the elite designation of world-class technician.

Mark Lange, a technical specialist on GE's Maintenance & Safety Solutions team, recently achieved the Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) designation. NAFA Fleet Management Association's CAFM program recognizes individuals who are experts in the fleet management field. To achieve the designation, recipients must complete a rigorous course of study, be knowledgeable in current practices and procedures in fleet management, and pass an eight-section written exam. Only a few hundred have achieved this high professional recognition.

SEC Proposal to Allow Early Adoption of International Accounting Standards

By Mike Antich
On Aug. 27, the Securities and Exchange Commission raised the possibility that approximately 110 U.S. publicly traded companies will be able to use international accounting standards (IAS) next year and may require all U.S. companies to switch to IAS between 2014-2016. There is a 60-day comment period about the SEC proposal. Fleet leasing will be impacted by the adoption of IAS. It is probable that all fleet leases in the U.S. will need to be capitalized sometime in the 2011-2016 timeframe.

The Hidden Cost of Personal Use

By Mike Antich
With fuel prices remaining elevated, many companies are wondering whether they are charging enough for personal use. At some companies, this discussion is long overdue. When re-evaluating personal use charges, a common mistake is to focus solely on the cost of fuel, which is understandable because, after all, fuel is the catalyst for these discussions. However, doing so ignores the other “hidden” costs of personal use, which have also risen.
