Why lease accounting matters
Lease accounting changed how companies report real estate obligations. This lesson explains the purpose of the current standards and who is affected.
Identifying a lease
Not every contract is a lease. You learn the identified-asset and control tests, and how to separate components.
Classification
Classification drives expense patterns. This lesson covers finance vs. operating lease classification under US GAAP and the single model for lessees under IFRS.
Measurement
Initial measurement sets the numbers. Learn lease term, payments, discount rates, and measuring the liability and right-of-use asset.
Journal entries and remeasurement
Leases change over time. You learn ongoing entries, modifications and remeasurement triggers.
