The New Lease Standard: Maintaining Compliance Post-Implementation

Maintaining-Compliance-Post-Implementation

The new lease standard, composed of ASC 842, GASB 87, and GASB 96 in the US, is meant to account for all lease obligations on financial statements, whereas the previous standard had excluded operating leases on financial statements.

ASC 842

ASC842

ASC 842 is a new standard for lease accounting that requires all leases longer than 12 months to be recorded as assets and liabilities on balance sheets. It was created by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, of FASB, to foster more transparency between investors and companies.

GASB 87

GASB87

GASB 87 was issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board in June 2017. It requires all leases that meet the formal definition of a lease to be accounted for similar to what previously was defined as a capital lease.

GASB 96

GASB96

GASB is the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. It works to maintain accounting and reporting standards that would foster visibility and clarity in finance reporting.

IFRS 16

IFRS16

IFRS 16 changes the classification of leases to a “right-of-use” model rather than classifying leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease.
