The liability to make lease payments is a monetary liability, and the right-of-use asset is a non- monetary asset.

Application to lease accounting Since a lessee's lease liability is a monetary item, the liability is translated using a current exchange rate at the end of each reporting period and foreign exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.

All incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease should be recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of the incentive's nature or form, or the timing of payments. [IFRS 16 para 81].

IFRS 16 requires a lessee to include lease incentives in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and the lease liability.? ? An entity agrees to enter into a lease arrangement with a new lessor. The lessor agrees to pay the lessee's relocation costs as an incentive to the lessee for entering into the new lease.

Operating Lease Accounting can be done by considering that the lessor owns the property and the lessee only uses it for a fixed time. The lessee records rental payments as expenses in the books of accounts. In contrast, the lessor records the property as an asset and depreciates it over its useful life.

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.

Furthermore, on initial recognition, a foreign currency transaction must be recorded in the reporting currency. Reporting currency is the currency that is used by the business entity to report its business transactions in the financial statements.
