Course Description

Accounting for Leasing activities as we now know it is about to change forever, and dramatically! We all know that most Leases are now accounted for as Operating Leases, and that the assets represented never make it onto the Balance Sheet. A joint IASB/FASB project intends to change all that! Worldwide, Billions of dollars of Leased Assets will be required to be reported on Balance Sheets. This CLN will examine the history and ongoing developments related to this project. If your co-op leases a significant number of assets, and who doesn't, join this CLN for this important update.
