Masterclass unravels AASB 16 Leases complexities

AASB 16 Leases is here – all 340 pages of it and its operative from 1 January.

Some have started the journey, many have not. Where-ever you are with your considerations, it’s time to check out the issues and have your questions answered by the experts – submit them in advance or ask them on the day.

There is much more to AASB 16 than simply recognising operating leases on the balance sheet. AASB 16 brings a number of changes beyond the financial reporting process.

Read the full overview >

The new standard affects almost all businesses (including NFPs).  It impinges on reported performance, incentive-based remuneration, grossing-up balance sheets, banking covenants, accounting systems and stakeholder communications. And they’re only a few things you will need to consider in its application.

Join us as we cover:

  • Your issues identified
  • Key differences between AASB 117 and AASB 16
  • What is a lease?
  • Exceptions to lease accounting
  • Separating the lessee into its components
  • Lease term, renewals and modification
  • Recognition and measurement rules
  • Discount rates
  • Accounting for subleases
  • ‘Peppercorns’ (service concessions?)
  • Transitional provisions, many options
  • Lessor accounting
  • Case studies and work examples
  • Software solutions
  • Presentation and disclosures issues and examples
  • Implementation considerations

Who is the masterclass for?
