The overhaul of IFRS lease accounting: Catalyst for change in corporate real estate

IFRS updates ()

This PwC report contains a detailed summary of the key provisions of the Exposure Draft stage of an ambitious IASB and FASB joint proposal that would radically transform lease accounting from the existing model which has existed for over 30 years. These changes would impact almost every company but are especially relevant to those that are significant users of real estate. The proposal suggests a completely new model for lessee accounting under which lessee's rights and obligations under all leases, existing and new, would be capitalised on the balance sheet.

We have also provided a
detailed overview webcast
on this report, where we present an overview of these changes, and look at the impact on corporate real estate which may be far reaching.
