IASB/FASB leasing redeliberations – February 2012

What is the issue?

The IASB and FASB met in February to discuss:

  • Lessee accounting – subsequent measurement; and
  • Lessor accounting – proposed scope exemption for investment properties.

There was some discussion of lessor accounting and a growing concern about the scope exemption for all investment properties, but most of the meeting dealt with subsequent measurement of the lessee’s right-of-use asset. The boards agree on many aspects of lessee accounting, but there is disagreement on how the right-of-use asset should be amortised.
