In-class essay: accounting for leases
• Students should research and study the
following in order to be well prepared:

– What are the main differences between the
standards?
– Why was AASB 117 replaced?
– What are operating leases and finance leases?

– What is meant by ‘off-balance sheet’ (ie, DO not
assume it means operating leases are not
recorded)?

result of the changes to accounting for leases?
– At least one example of a company who leases
and how this might impact them.
