Thought Leadership
The new guidance eliminates the historical concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases”, representing the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) and IFRS 16, at inception, a Lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either a finance or operating lease, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet.
In 2017 and 2018, Swenson and Cresa San Diego worked with the Audit Committee Chairman and CFO of a middle market public company – in order to comply with the mandates under the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 74 (Topic 11M).
Based on our informal inquires at the SEC, we believe that the AccountLease™ team was the first firm to successfully compute and disclose the range of the effect on the balance sheet of the new lease accounting standards for a global company with many leases around the world.
