IFRS 16 para 83 states “A lessor shall add initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognise those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.”
How does that look as a journal entry? Do you debit it to the asset or is it a new account underneath the asset?
e.g. Dr PPE = $500 Cr Cash = $500 Recognition of initial direct costs of negotiating the lease
OR
Dr Deferred Initial Direct Costs – PPE = $500 Cr Cash = $500
