IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 Leases

About This Course

With trillions of US dollars of assets being held off the balance sheet the IASB and FASB had the leases convergence project as a priority. The process has taken a significant amount of time to come through to a new standard and the implications will have a significant impact on every organisation. With a new definition of what constitutes a lease and with all operating leases coming onto the balance sheet, financial statements of lessees will look very different. IFRS 16 is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 but there is a lot of work to be done prior to the standard becoming effective.

Career Advancement Areas

With examples and case studies, participants will get a high level overview of what you need to do before the international financial reporting standard (IFRS) 16 comes into effect in 2019 and how to deal with the changes when it does.
