Right-of-use – A new asset category accounted for in IFRS

Presenters : Caryn Maitland CA(SA)


Overview   

A lot of discussions have been had on IFRS 16 regarding lease transactions, lessor and lessee responsibilities, cashflows arising from lease agreements as well as the recognition of assets and liabilities under lease contracts. What is usually not highlighted is the "creation" of a new asset type called a right-of-use asset.  

Under IFRS 16, lessees, unless validly exempted, are required to capitalise the lease. How should they deal with the underlying leasehold asset?  Which costs are taken into consideration when determining its value and where is it disclosed on the financial statements?
