Course Description

The new Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, leases, issued to replace the previous leases standard ASC 840. 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.” It’s not just public businesses, as non-public companies are being put on notice for an upcoming effective date of their own ASC 842 mandates.

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. That's why the question of whether a contract is within the scope of leases or not is essential to be considered. 

This CPE webinar on Accounting provides an overview of the new lease accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) prescribed within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842. 

This includes a discussion of the reasons for the change, how to correctly identify a lease within a contract, and the overall recognition, measurement, subsequent measurement, and disclosure requirements. 

This CPE webinar also provides examples of real-world disclosures as well as challenges faced by entities post-adoption.

Learning Objectives

  • To discuss whether an arrangement contains a lease.
  • To identify considerations with respect to substitution rights.
  • To identify the criteria for the new finance lease and short-term leases.
  • To recognize the new recognition and measurement requirements for both lessees and lessors.
  • To analyze the requirements related to leasing modifications.

I thought the course was good, well laid out, and clearly written. My only issue was I had trouble accessing the final exam. Not sure if it was just because I was impatient, or what the problem was. Eventually I was able to access it.
