The new accounting standard for leases

IFRS 16 Leases represents a fundamental change in the accounting for leases on the part of lessees. Leases which were once treated “off-balance” as operating leases are now required to be recognised on-balance, resulting in enormous impacts on financial figures.
Lessees are now required to recognise right-of-use assets from leases on their balance sheet and recognise future payment obligations as a liability. This means that not only will the balance sheet change significantly but so will key indicators of many companies – particularly those that have large numbers of leased assets.

IFRS 16 replaces the following standards and interpretations:

IAS 17 Leases
IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease
SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives
SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease
