Newsletter IFRS - June 2012
For some months, the Leases project seemed to have reached deadlock, largely due to the difficulties encountered by the two Boards in deciding how to account for the result. Some observers were wondering whether it would ever see the light of day.
Regardless of whether they will be pleased or upset, the two Boards have not thrown in the towel. They have just reached agreement on the profit or loss pattern in lessee accounting, and confirm that a new exposure draft will be published in 2012 (Q4), but remain guarded on the publication date for the final standard.
This prudence is necessary given what is at stake, especially in view of the number of topics still to be addressed in the revenue recognition project in the light of the comments letters received.
