The lessor reports the lease as a leased asset on the balance sheet and individual lease payments as income on the income and cash flow statements. The lessee reports the lease as both an asset and a liability on the balance sheet due to their stake as a potential owner of the asset and their required payment.

What is an Operating Lease? The lease term is greater than or equal to 75% of the asset's estimated useful life. The present value of the lease payments is greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the asset. Ownership of the asset may be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease.

Once the company has determined all the information needed such as the lease payment, lease term, and discount rate, then the liability can be discounted over the lease period using the discount rate. The resulting amount becomes the lease liability and is recorded on the balance sheet.

A lease will be recorded on the balance sheet as a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability. The lease liability is the payment obligation over the term of the lease contract, while the ROU asset represents the control of the asset under the lease contract.

Leases are capitalized when the business first obtains the right to control or use a leased asset. This is done by crediting the lease liability account for an amount equal to the present value of all remaining lease payments and debiting an ROU asset account for a corresponding amount.

Initial recordation. Calculate the present value of all lease payments; this will be the recorded cost of the asset. Record the amount as a debit to the appropriate fixed asset account, and a credit to the capital lease liability account.

IAS 17 classifies leases into two types: a finance lease if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership; and. an operating lease if the lease does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.
