IFRS16 overview
As of 1st January the new lease accounting standard IFRS16 applies.
It regulates lease contracts that imply a right of use an asset and replaces IAS17, the standard which applies so far. We have summarized the most important changes in balancing, the advantages and some reporting possibilities for you.
Affected companies
The changes apply for all companies, who set up their balance sheets with IFRS. Not concerned are contracts with a duration below 12 months or with expiration before 01/01/2010 and material assets below USD 5.000.
IAS17 vs. IFRS16
Benefits
- Transfer of risk to lease company
- Greater visibility of the level of debt linked to leasing
- Amounts in the Balance Sheet remain lower than with outright purchase (Right of Use < list price, because residual value is not included)
- Avoidance of using own capital for financing fleet
- EBITDA improvement
