- Understanding AASB 2022-5 Amendments: Lease Liability in Sale
Explore the new requirements for lease liability measurement in sale and leaseback transactions under AASB 2022-5 amendments.
Stay updated on key changes to lease liabilities under AASB 2022-5 and their impact on financial reporting.
The AASB 2022-5 amendments introduce crucial updates for the measurement of lease liabilities in sale and leaseback transactions. Effective for annual reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2024, these amendments ensure consistency and transparency in financial reporting for entities engaging in such transactions.
Key updates include a specific approach to the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities that prevents recognizing any gain or loss related to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. This ensures accurate financial reporting by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings or other equity components.
Auditors play a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with these new requirements, revisiting audit strategies to verify accurate measurement and recognition of lease liabilities.
