ASC 842 is a lease accounting standard by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), requiring all leases longer than 12 months to be reflected on a company's balance sheet. This enhances financial transparency by giving a clear picture of an entity's lease obligations.

ASC 842 requires a lessee to classify a lease as either a finance or operating lease. Interest and amortization expense are recognized for finance leases while only a single lease expense is recognized for operating leases, typically on a straight-line basis.

ASC 842 will result in greater income statement volatility for operating leases denominated in a foreign currency than resulted under ASC 840 because ASC 842 requires the lease liability to be remeasured to the lessee's functional currency each period using the current exchange rate, while remeasuring the right-of-use ...

At the date a foreign currency transaction occurs, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is recorded in the functional currency of the recording entity using the exchange rate in effect at that date.

Application to lease accounting Since a lessee's lease liability is a monetary item, the liability is translated using a current exchange rate at the end of each reporting period and foreign exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.

Any gains or losses arising out of such translation are to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. All the translation adjustments arising from foreign currency translation are recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the parent company's consolidated balance sheet.

For operating leases, ASC 842 requires recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability upon lease commencement. With the changes introduced under ASC 842, all leases are now presented on both the balance sheet and income statement whether they are operating or finance (capital) leases.

9. A foreign currency transaction should be recorded, on initial recognition in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
