ASC 842 on Leases, this standard became effective from the calendar year started on January 1, 2019, for the public companies. For private companies, the standard will be effective from the calendar year beginning January 1, 2020. ASC Topic 842 will substantially alter how companies account for leases in their financial statements. This new standard brings most operating leases, which were accounted for off-balance sheet under the previous leases standard ASC 840, onto the balance sheet.
The new standard will require organizations that lease assets— referred to as “lessees”—to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months.
Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.
However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet— the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.
In this webinar, Samuel Monastra will provide a discussion of the basics of ASC 842 Leases. Briefly, there will be a discussion of the background surrounding the history and reason for the development of the Lease Standard. The online CPE class will then provide attendees with the basic concepts that need to be understood. New concepts, such as a right-of-use asset and operating lease vs. a finance lease with be discussed and there will be examples and problems for the attendees to better understand the underlying concepts.

Objectives were met and the instructor was clear and concise, providing relevant examples.
MW
Good class, but I felt like showing some basic accounting for different leases would have been helpful to compare and contrast. I started wondering when he was going to get to the examples to show the actual application.
JC
I think the webinar was very informative and complete. Leases can be a pretty dull subject but the instructor did a good job keeping things interesting.
