Learning Objective

Course Overview

For many reporting entities, leasing is an important way to obtain access to the property. It allows lessees to finance the use of necessary assets, often simplifies the disposal of used property, and reduces a lessee’s exposure to the risks inherent in asset ownership. The accounting for leases is changing significantly. Thanks to the now required implementation of ASC 842, which demands that lessees record nearly all leases on their balance sheets, public businesses are now seeing their balance sheets “blowing up.”

In this CPE course speaker, Kelen Camehl provides a high-level overview of the accounting and reporting requirements related to leasing transactions as outlined in ASC Topic 842.

The new lease accounting standard, ASC 842 takes effect on December 15, 2021. This accounting standard aims to bring leases onto the balance sheet and increase transparency and visibility into an organization's lease assets. 

This online CPE accounting course is designed for addressing the process of determining whether an arrangement contains a lease and the resulting lease classification. It also addresses recognition requirements as well as some high-level presentation & disclosure topics.
