As lease accounting requirements continue to evolve, it is important that practitioners can confidently advise clients on applying the standard in practice. This webinar builds on the fundamental principles of lessee accounting, using practical case studies to explore common issues and areas requiring professional judgement.

Designed for members in practice advising small companies, the session will revisit the definition of a lease and distinguish leases from service contracts before examining key topics including lease term assessments, rent reviews, separating contract components, lease incentives, leasehold improvements, sale and leaseback transactions, and transition to the standard. Through real-world examples, you'll gain practical insights to help clients navigate lease accounting with confidence.
