Hi, There have been no changes to the technical content within the FR syllabus. An IAS is the same as an IFRS, there is no difference. Originally all we had were IASs but as standards developed they were replaced by an IFRS instead. So originally leases were governed by IAS 17 but following changes to the standard they are now covered by IFRS 16. Thanks
