What is IFRS16?

With IFRS16, the lessee must recognize right of use as an asset and record lease obligations for all lease transactions, excluding short-term leases and low-value asset leases (accounting in accordance with conventional operating leases *recording fixed lease costs across lease period, not recording right-of-use assets and lease obligations).

IFRS16 Requirements

The IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) announced a new standard of lease accounting, IFRS16 “Leases,” in January 2016. IFRS16 is effective for fiscal years starting in or after January 2019, and from the fiscal year ending in March 2020 for companies with fiscal years ending in March.
Instead of on-balance processing (capitalization) for all lease contracts, off-balance processing (expense) will be necessary depending on the lease amount and lease period.

When applicable for on-balance processing, contract, right-of-use assets, and lease obligations must be recorded; however, lease obligations require recording with the discounted present value of the total lease expense, and right-of-use assets require recording also with the amount including initial cost.

Regarding right-of-use assets, for depreciation and lease obligations, interest expenses and lease obligation repayment must be recorded every month. Compared to conventional operating lease management, this requires an immense amount of effort; thus, efficient operation utilizing a system is desired.
