Accounting for a finance lease has four steps: Record the present value of all lease payments as the cost of the lease. Record only the interest portion of each payment as an expense. Depreciate the recognised cost of the asset over its applicable life. Recognise the asset's disposal upon its retirement.

To classify a lease, a lessee should use all lease payments (i.e., including payments made at or before the commencement date), whereas only the remaining payments due should be used to measure the lease liability at lease commencement.
