Introduction to the Accounting Measurement Principle IFRS 16
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published IFRS 16 — a set of new standards for leases. Lessees are now required to apply IFRS 16 to leases, which, previously in accordance with IAS 17, were classified into operating leases and finance leases and therefore came under different accounting measurement principles. It marks one of the most profound policy changes in recent years, with far-reaching implications for a wide variety of industries ranging from retail chains, airlines and transportation to even banking and insurance businesses.
Challenges of the Financial Management
The transition to IFRS 16 will bring significant challenges to the financial management of companies. Take the maintenance of lease contract information for example. In accordance with the new standards, measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities involves very complex calculations, and each contract requires individual tracking of changes and settlements to confirm the impact on financial assets and liabilities. In the event of a large number of leases, the following up of relevant businesses by financial staff entail huge amounts of effort and resources.
