Blueprint Currency Lease For Free

When calculating the present value, a lessee should discount the foreign currency lease payments to present value and then remeasure that present value into the functional currency using the exchange rate at lease commencement. The discount rate should be the rate implicit in a lease.

The initial and subsequent accounting by lessees for operating leases and finance leases, including specific issues such as evaluating ROU assets for impairment, applying ASC 842 to leases denominated in a foreign currency and recognizing leases acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions.

At the date a foreign currency transaction occurs, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is recorded in the functional currency of the recording entity using the exchange rate in effect at that date.

Currency translations use the exchange rate at the end of the reported period for assets and liabilities, the exchange rate on the date that income or an expense was recognized for the income statement, and a historical exchange rate at the date of entry to shareholder equity.

Accounting for a finance lease has four steps: Record the present value of all lease payments as the cost of the lease. Record only the interest portion of each payment as an expense. Depreciate the recognised cost of the asset over its applicable life. Recognise the asset's disposal upon its retirement.

A functional currency is the main currency that a company conducts its business. As companies transact in many currencies but report their financial statements in one currency, the foreign currencies have to be translated into the functional currency.

The key objective of IFRS 16 is to ensure that lessees recognise assets and liabilities for their major leases. A lessee applies a single lease accounting model under which it recognises all leases on-balance sheet, unless it elects to apply the recognition exemptions (see Section 2.6).
