# IFRS 16 Resources
##### When it comes to IFRS 16 we have you covered
.png?width=800&height=500&name=lease-management%20(1).png)
## What is IFRS 16?
The **International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16 Leases** is a set of global accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that outlines how companies should account for leases in their financial statements.
It provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for lease accounting that applies to all types of leases, whether they are operating or finance leases.
**IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise most operating leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability.**
**Need more information on IFRS 16 and its role in lease accounting?**

#### IFRS 16 at a glance
### Where it came from:
IFRS 16 was introduced by IASB on January 13, 2016, and became effective on January 1, 2019, replacing the previously used standard IAS 17.
### What it does:
The IFRS 16 framework sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.
### Who it applies to:
IFRS 16 affects companies that lease assets as part of their business operations, applying to both lessees and lessors.
### What are the main goals of IFRS 16?
- To improve financial consistency, transparency and comparability between companies,
- To eliminate off-balance sheet accounting practices making companies report on their lease agreements which were previously hidden in the footnotes of financial statements,
- To provide investors and other stakeholders with a more accurate and complete picture of a company’s lease obligations, which can have a significant impact on a company’s financial position and performance.
### Who does IFRS 16 affect?
IFRS 16 applies to all companies that prepare their financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This includes companies that are publicly listed, privately held, or not-for-profit organizations.
Most importantly, IFRS 16 affects companies that lease assets, including real estate, vehicles and equipment, as part of their business operations. This includes companies in various industries, such as retail, manufacturing, finance, aviation, infrastructure and telecommunications, among others.
The standard applies to both lessees and lessors; however, lessees are more significantly impacted due to the changes in accounting treatment for leases.
In our blog post, you can find more examples of IFRS 16 leases:

### IFRS 16 for Property Leases
In terms of property leases, IFRS 16 applies to all types of property leases, including office space, retail space, and other types of commercial property. The standard requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities for the full term of the lease, including any extension or renewal periods. This change aims to provide more transparency in financial reporting by reflecting a company's financial commitments related to leases.
We have written a comprehensive article for property managers and their teams to help them better understand the implications of lease portfolio management under IFRS 16.

### IFRS 16 Tax Impact
Implementation of FRS 16 Lease has significant tax implications for both lessees and lessors. For lessees, the standard eliminates the distinction between operating & finance leases, resulting in the recognition of lease liabilities and assets on the balance sheet. For lessors, the standard may require changes to lease structuring to ensure that lease payments are deductible for tax purposes.
It is also important to note that tax laws and regulations can vary between countries, and the specific impact may depend on the jurisdiction in which an organisation operates.

### IFRS 16 Reporting
IFRS 16 reporting requirements are the accounting rules that organisations must follow when reporting leases in their financial statements.
In terms of reporting under IFRS 16, lessees are required to provide more extensive disclosures in their financial statements than under IAS 17.
The disclosures should include information about the nature and extent of the company's leasing activities, the impact of leases on the financial statements, and lease-related expenses.
