Bridging the GAAP: The New Lease Accounting Standards, Lease Drafting and Negotiations

Gain a better understanding of the new lease accounting requirements and how to comply with them.

The new lease accounting standards affect all companies and organizations - public and private, large, and small. ASC 842, GASB 87 and IFRS 16 require leases to be represented on the balance sheet. Any financial changes or adjustments must also be captured and identified. These new lease accounting standards have created a significant undertaking for organizations. Now, they must properly manage their portfolio to be able to identify and collect all their real estate and equipment leases. They need to extract detailed, accurate and reliable data so they can calculate the 'right of use' assets and related lease liabilities. Because of the complexity of the calculations, this is no easy task. This topic will help you gain a better understanding of the new lease accounting requirements and how to comply with them.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to identify the history, requirements and needs for the new lease standards.
  • You will be able to differentiate the characteristics between the different lease types.
  • You will be able to differentiate between lease standards in US GAAP and IFRS.
