20 June 2019 HKFRS Leases 16
The new lease accounting standard, HKFRS 16 Leases had been effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. It replaces HKAS 17 Leases and related interpretations including HK(IFRIC)-Interpretation 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The new Standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with limited exceptions. This will impact the balance sheet, income statement and cash flows of all companies with lease agreements regardless of the industry that the company operates in. Companies need to determine the extent of the accounting impact as soon as possible to manage the consequential business implications.
The seminar will cover key requirements of HKFRS 16 “Leases”, highlight areas that may result in a change in practice, and will include practical examples on hot topics such as determining discount rates and lease terms.
