Case Stimulus
Lease gives lessees the right to use assets in return for the lessee accepting an obligation to make series of payments to the owner of the assets; the lessor.
The previous accounting rules set out in IAS 17-Leases focused on identifying leases that were economically similar to purchasing the assets being leased.
However, IFRS 16-Leases was issued subsequently and applies to accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Nonetheless, earlier application is also permitted.
Therefore, IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17. The introduction of IFRS 16 brought about material changes to the requirements for recognition of rights and obligations under leasing arrangements.
