Our summer series on presentation and disclosure continues with a focus on leasing for lessees.
Our Full disclosure podcast series brings you back to the basics on all things related to financial statement presentation and disclosure, from the top of the financial statements through the footnotes.
This week we focus on a lessee’s presentation and disclosure requirements for leases. Suzanne Stephani and Marc Jerusalem, PwC National Office directors, are back in the guest seats to share helpful insights and key reminders.
Topics include:
- 1:15 - Balance sheet and income statement. Marc and Suzanne start with the balance sheet and income statement, highlighting the presentation for finance vs. operating leases, current vs. non-current, and more.
- 10:55 - Statement of cash flows. Suzanne explains how to avoid common stumbling blocks when presenting lease transactions in the statement of cash flows.
- 15:33 - Disclosure requirements. Lessees have a long list of qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements that need to be met. Marc details where to start and what to watch out for.
- 24:11 - Leases in light of current events. The current economic environment has disrupted some companies’ leasing strategies. Marc and Suzanne provide some insight on how this may impact their presentation and disclosures.
- 29:47 - Wrap-up. Heather tries to stump Suzanne and Marc with a few trivia questions before they provide final reminders and advice for companies accounting under ASC 842.
