Hello,
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
Hi,
Lessor accounting is not on the FR paper, so please post the query on the SBR forum for your answer.
Thanks
