This programme is part of the Professional Skills Series, designed specifically to update accountants and auditors on the new FRS 116 Leases. The new FRS differs substantially from the existing standard, and will inevitably impose a new reporting burden and have significant impact on an organisation’s financial position, financial results, leverage and capital ratios, cash flow and EBITA.
Finance Leases have historically been reported on the statement of financial position, but not operating leases. The upcoming approach to lease accounting, referred to as "The Rights of Use" model, differs substantially from the current standard. Under the new approach, a lessee will recognise an asset (the right to use the leased item), and its corresponding lease liability on the statement of financial position. This will eliminate any off-balance sheet lease accounting altogether at the present value of future lease payments.
Adopting the new standard will pose a significant challenge to organisations. They will now have to identify and review all lease contracts, gather the relevant information, determine the value of the asset and liability and prepare the new disclosures. Therefore, early adoption of FRS 116 is possible, if it is done in conjunction with the adoption of the new FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This will reduce the need for restatement of comparative financial reporting.
