Lease Accounting: Reporting under Both US GAAP & IFRS Webinar
Link Copied!
Overview
The New Lease Accounting Standards (ASC 842 and IFRS 16) present major new challenges for companies that report under both US GAAP and IFRS.

This session will focus on:
- US GAAP vs. IFRS
- Recording operating leases under ASC 842
- ROU asset balances, depreciation and liability under IFRS 16
- Significant differences in EBITDA and EBTDA under US GAAP and IFRS
- Discount rate requirements and de minimus assets
