Make sense of your data. See how to explore assumptions in FASB lease accounting, understand finance and operating lease requirements, and generate reports.
In our first post of the three-part series on FASB lease accounting readiness, we outlined the first step to FASB and IASB readiness: identify, collect, and load your real estate and equipment leases. In this blog, we’ll discuss steps 2-4, taking the data you have collected and making sense of it.
In step two, you’ll need to determine the accounting assumptions. A few assumptions to consider are: Cost of Capital and Economic and Fair Value thresholds (for FASB only).
When looking into the Cost of Capital Assumption, the data you need should be in the lease, but if not, you should call on a member of your Treasury department. Additionally, when analyzing the Economic and Fair Value threshold assumptions, these should be approved or validated by your Finance group or Corporate Compliance group.
The FASB test has five components. If a lease passes all five, then the lease is treated as an operating lease. If the lease fails any one of the subtests, then the lease is treated as a finance lease. The test outcome determines how the lease is amortized and reported. According to Skoda Minotti, a top tier financial advisor, the requirements are defined below:
In this step, you will be responsible for generating calculations and reports, which can consist of the weighted average lease term and cost of capital, the present value and related interest/amortization components for the balance sheet and P&L, and short-term lease costs.
