What is IFRS16?

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.
Journalization Example
Lease period: 5 years, Amount of payment: 200,000 (once per month), Discount rate: 5%
